Walenpfad ticket round trip from Engelberg in summer

With this ticket you will experience a T2 scale mountain hike. The necessary train tickets on the way are already included in the ticket

Stages of the round hike:

• Ristis can be reached by cable car from Engelberg. It is a 65-passenger cable car and takes about 3 minutes to Ristis
• From Ristis you hike to the Brunnihütte at the Härzlisee or take the chairlift. However, you still have to buy this ticket (preferential price upon presentation of the Walenpfad ticket)
• Hike along the nature trail to Alp Rosenbold (1863 m above sea level).
• Hike down to Walenalp (1673 m above sea level) with a wide view of the Mittelland.
• Steep ascent (300 hm) to Walegg (1943 m above sea level). Here is the highest vantage point of the Walenpfad hike. You can see the Bannalpsee and the surrounding peaks particularly beautifully.
• The path now leads steeply downhill over the alp Oberfeld (1826 m above sea level) and the Urnerstaffel (1693 m above sea level). Only at the Walengräben does it go up again briefly at the beginning
• You reach the Bannalp and the cable car Fell-Chrüzhütte, which takes you to Oberrickenbach.
• In Oberrickenbach the post bus is waiting to take you to Wolfenschiessen to the Zentralbahn.
