A family-friendly resort in a high-mountain setting
The Sörenberg ski area extends between 1,166 and 2,350 meters above sea level, offering 53 km of slopes divided between family-friendly sectors and high-altitude areas with panoramic views of the Brienzer Rothorn, the highest peak in the canton of Lucerne.
The lower slopes, close to the village, are ideal for beginners, with drag lifts and large learning areas. More experienced skiers, on the other hand, can take the cable car up to the Brienzer Rothorn, where the red and black slopes offer long, technical descents with spectacular views of Lake Brienz and the Bernese Alps.
The resort has 17 modern and efficient lifts, distributed between the Sörenberg Dorf and Brienzer Rothorn sectors, ensuring smooth access to all areas. The north-facing orientation and altitude ensure quality snow throughout the season, generally from December to early April.
