From Engelberg station, proceed through Dorfstrasse always towards the monastery. After the tourist information center, the Schwandstrasse turns left. From there, the path steadily rises. About 60 m after the Hotel Waldegg, take the road to the right towards Fellenrüti - Bergli. Hotel Waldegg is also the last chance for a stopover before the destination at Ristis. At the end of the road, at the Fellenrüti bus stop, the path turns sharply left into the forest. After the first long bend, the forest clears and the view to the next intermediate goal, Bergli, opens up. Now keep to the left away from the road, all the way towards Spisboden. Above the farm, you reach the road again. Here, more than half the way is done. After a few bends and altitude meters, you finally reach Ristis. The view towards Titlis and Engelberg is splendid and makes you forget tired legs. After a well-deserved break on the sun terrace of the mountain restaurant Ristis, take the gondola down to the valley. The free sports bus will take you back to the station and the starting point of the winter hike.
