--- title: "4-Lakes bike route in Engelberg" url: "https://www.luzern.com/en/tour/4-lakes-bike-route-in-engelberg" description: "The route starts at Engelberg train station. From there, head to the valley station of the TITLIS cable cars and continue on the paved Gerschnistrasse towards Untertrübsee. Warning: You may encounter work traffic on this section. After the Untertrübsee alp, a gravel path branches off to the left – now endurance is required. The coarse gravel and steep ascent demand a lot from you – stamina and riding technique are essential. But: The view of the Titlis and the anticipation of the chairlift from Trübsee make up for all the effort. You can comfortably overcome the approximately 400 meters in altitude with the chairlift to the Jochpass. At the top awaits a wonderful singletrail – flowing, scenic, and full of riding fun. The Engstlensee lies deep blue before you – perfect for a break or a short cooldown. Then follows a push section of about 600 meters along the Spycherflue up to Tannalp. From here it gets comfortable: you roll down a wide paved road along the Tannalpsee towards Melchsee. Surrounded by alpine meadows and mountain scenery, enjoy the descent to Melchsee-Frutt. From here, follow the Melchtalerstrasse to Stöckalp – note: this section is only passable downhill at odd hours (e.g. 11:00–11:40). The return to the valley goes through the Melch valley, past St. Niklausen to the village center of Kerns. From there, the route continues towards Stans, where you board the train. The Zentralbahn takes you comfortably back to Engelberg (hourly at xx:24)." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3769661/1d9a5bbb2bf3eaa01a72326041d775cb9c971a1fcda878292183b1ee9d281bbc/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share 4-Lakes bike route in Engelberg =============================== - Tip - 53.07 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: easy - Great panorama - Tour - 6:30 h - 53.07 km - 1,422 m - 1,982 m - 445 m - 2,207 m - 1,762 m - - Start: Engelberg train station - Destination: Stans The 4-Lakes bike route impresses with a magnificent view of the mountain panorama and with crystal-clear mountain lakes that invite you to take a break after the physically demanding ascent.
