Hiking on the sunny side of Engelberg with a perfect view of the Titlis and the local mountain Hahnen – this is no empty promise on the Panoramaweg Ristis – Rigidalalp – Brunnihütte.

From Engelberg train station a free local bus takes you to Brunni valley station, from where you take the Brunni cable car up to Ristis. Here you reach the starting point of the Panoramaweg. Always gently uphill and with breathtaking views, you walk along the well-maintained hiking trail towards Rigidalalp. In good weather, the photo subject "local mountain Hahnen" presents itself at its best and stands out with its impressive boards against the bright blue sky. After half an hour on foot, the mountain inn Rigidalalp is reached. Rustic coziness and Engelberg specialties are offered to guests in good weather. Once refreshed and satisfied with the view, the ascent to Brunnihütte is taken underfoot. After a few minutes of ascent, the SAC hut is already in sight. The large sun terrace offers space for sun lovers and tired hikers. What could be better than ending your hiking day with a fine hut coffee and a view of the Titlis? Then back down to the valley leisurely with the chairlift and from Ristis with the cable car.
