Murmeli hike

The Murmeli hike in the Uri Alps leads from the beautiful Trübsee to the Tannalp and the Engstlenalp and Engstlensee. As the name already suggests, you might spot one or the other marmot here if you're lucky.

With consistently stunning views of the numerous peaks of the Bernese and Uri Alps, you cross the cantonal border between Bern and Obwalden twice before the loop finally ends back at Trübsee.

Starting from Engelberg, first take the cable car up to Trübsee. From here, you hike along the south shore until you reach the valley station of the Jochpass chairlift.

After another cable car ride, you arrive at the mountain station Jochpass, which lies exactly on the cantonal border of Bern and Obwalden. On foot, you now head westwards towards Schaftal.

After a short section uphill, where you might spot some marmots and even ibex if you're lucky, the route goes downhill and you cross the cantonal border once again.

You reach the beautiful Tannalp where a rest in the mountain inn Tannalp is recommended. Once sufficiently refreshed, follow another ascent up to the Engstlenalp and shortly thereafter to the deep blue Engstlensee. Before finally returning to the mountain station Jochpass.
