The starting point is the Engelberg train station - just a few minutes on foot from the Titlis valley station. From there, the path leads either on foot via the Untertrübsee alpine cheese dairy to Trübsee or with the Titlis Xpress directly to the middle station.
From Trübsee, the route continues to Jochpass – by chairlift or sporty on foot. At the top, the Bärghuis Jochpass awaits with regional cuisine and a fantastic view of the Bernese Alps.
The descent leads downhill to the deep blue Engstlensee and then further up a path that becomes steeper to the Tannalp. The rocky surroundings give way to a gentle moorland. Along Tannensee and Melchsee, the route runs over the high plateau to Melchsee-Frutt. The return to the valley is either by gondola to Stöckalp or classically on foot via the hiking trail. From Stöckalp, the post bus goes to Sarnen and then on the Zentralbahn back.
The following mountain railways/public transport can be included: • Titlis Xpress Engelberg – Trübsee • Chairlift Trübsee – Jochpass • Chairlift Jochpass – Engstlenalp • Fruttli train Tannalp – Melchsee-Frutt • Gondola Melchsee-Frutt – Stöckalp • Post bus Stöckalp – Stans • Zentralbahn Stans – Engelberg
