From Engelberg station, the free local bus takes you to the Brunni valley station, from where the Brunni cable car goes up to Ristis. Here you reach the starting point of the Panorama Trail. Always slightly uphill and with breathtaking views, you proceed on the well-groomed winter hiking trail towards Rigidalalp. In good weather, the photo motif "local mountain Hahnen" shows itself at its best and stands out with its snow-covered planks against the bright blue sky. After a half-hour walk, the mountain hut Rigidalalp is reached. Cozy rustic atmosphere and Engelberg specialties are offered to guests in good weather. After refreshing yourself and enjoying the view, the ascent to Brunnihütte is taken underfoot. Crossing the ski slope, the destination, the SAC hut, is already in sight. The large sun terrace offers space for sun lovers and tired hikers. What's better than ending your hiking day with a delicious hut coffee and a view of the Titlis? The way back to the valley then goes comfortably by chairlift and from Ristis by cable car.
