Rugghubel Hut (2296 m above sea level)

From Engelberg station, you reach the valley station of the Brunni cable car in 15 minutes, which effortlessly takes you to Ristis (1599 m). Now you hike on a good path with a gentle ascent to the northeast. After the Rigidal signboard, the path leads above cliffs to the Tüfelstein. Shortly after, you cross a stream and then ascend on a scenic path through rocky karst landscape to the day's destination, the beautifully located Rugghubel Hut. (Duration: 2.5 h)

Here you find everything needed to quench even great thirst and hunger. There are also small rocks for the children’s first climbing attempts! The SAC hut is staffed from June to October and can also offer good accommodation.

The return is via the same route. You have the option to descend directly to Engelberg from the Rigidal signboard on a steeper path, return from Ristis on a better path to the valley station of the cable car, or of course use the cable car again. From the hut to Ristis 2 h, to Engelberg 3 h.
