Engelberg-Äbnet/Alp Surenen

From Engelberg station, you go through the village past the Engelberg monastery towards the valley station of the Fürenalp cable car. On Herrenrütistrasse, it continues steadily uphill into the valley. The surface changes to gravel after about 1.5 km, passing the Alpenrösli Restaurant, known for its rösti and desserts, further to the Stäfeli-Äbnet cable car. Those who prefer a leisurely pace can now take the cable car up to the Äbnet/Alp Surenen. The ride takes about three minutes and leads to the alp located 300 meters higher. Alternatively, you can also ride up under your own power: at Alp Stäfeli, the gravel road branches off to the right and crosses the Stierenbach. From there, you continue on the right valley side over the forest road, up and down, past the flanks of the Spannörter and the Stäuber waterfall, then turn left towards Alp Surenen.

Arriving at Alp Surenen offers a unique panorama with Titlis, Schlossberg, and the large and small Spannort. The perfect moment for a break. At the Alpbeizli Surenen and in the shop of the Surenen alpine cheese dairy, located right next door, various delicacies from the alp are available.

The return to Engelberg leads towards the Stäuber waterfall and from there along the forest road towards Stäfeli. The path now leads either back the same way or follows the left side of the Stierenbach in the direction of Engelberg.
