It hardly gets more family-friendly: The stage Untertrübsee/Gerschnialp is short, easy to walk, varied and equipped with many places to stop for refreshment.

From the show dairy in the monastery, go straight ahead towards Bänkli Alp. After the bridge, turn right and follow the Aa stream to the valley station of the Titlis cable cars. The funicular comfortably takes small children’s feet up to Gerschnialp. From the mountain station, the path first leads through the forest and then over the meadow to the Restaurant Untertrübsee (fine Swiss cuisine). After just a few meters on the paved road, the Untertrübsee alpine cheese dairy appears on the left side. From there, take the same path back to the fork at the forest. Instead of walking back to the mountain station, cross the meadow under the Engelberg-Trübsee-Stand gondola station to the Gerschnialp alpine cheese dairy. Then follows a short walk towards the Restaurant Gerschnialp (fine Swiss cuisine). Down to the right over the Gerschniwald back to Engelberg, where you exit the forest clearing at Bänkli Alp.


Please note that depending on weather conditions (snow cover), not all alpine cheese dairies are staffed in June and that from mid-October the alpine pastures are no longer staffed.
