Glaubenberg Pass, Mountain pass in Central Switzerland

Glaubenberg Pass is a mountain pass in central Switzerland reaching 1543 meters in elevation, connecting the regions of Obwalden and the Emmental Valley. The road passes through rolling alpine meadows and wetlands that shape the landscape on both sides of the ridge.

During World War II, the Swiss Army built the Wanegg fortification line along the Glaubenberg road in the Wanegg area, with three infantry works. Several shooting ranges of the Swiss Army lie on the Glaubenberg. Since November 2015 the troop camp there has been used as a federal asylum centre.

The moor landscape around the pass is one of the largest in Switzerland and shapes the area with boggy meadows and special plants that visitors notice right away.

The pass road is fully asphalted since October 2010. From Gfellen to Langis it is closed during the winter months, while the stretch from Sarnen up to Langis, one kilometre east of the pass summit, stays open all year. In summer and during the ski season a Postbus runs daily six to eight times from Sarnen to Langis; on summer weekends it also runs four times from Entlebuch over the pass to Langis.

The 130 km² Glaubenberg moor landscape is the largest in Switzerland and is listed in the federal inventory of moor landscapes of national importance. The army maintains several shooting ranges on the pass, and since November 2015 its troop camp has served as a federal asylum centre.
