The Glaubenberg moorland is located between the Entlebuch and Lakes Lunger and Sarnen. At 130 square kilometers, the area is slightly larger than Lake Lucerne. No other habitat has been so decimated or treated as a worthless area in the last 150 years as the moors. Today they are among the most valuable areas for nature. For this reason, they are rigorously protected today. The Langis-Glaubenberg landscape is characterized by numerous moors, forest areas and alpine pastures, which are closely interlinked in places. Man has been using and shaping the landscape for centuries. The torrents have dug deep into the flysch. Flysch is a soft, relatively water-impermeable rock. In such zones, slopes are prone to landslides. The diverse moorland landscape with individual groups of shrubs and trees provides good living conditions for grouse (capercaillie, black grouse and hazel grouse).
The Langis offers a versatile cross-country skiing area with trails for classic and skating. The trails lead through an idyllic moorland landscape and offer a varied experience for both beginners and advanced skiers.
