From there, take the wide stone staircase that begins to the left of the monastery church. At the top, follow a left curve on the street before the path turns right. From there it gets steep. Up to the mountain station of the Klostermatte ski lift, the path is still wider and runs over open fields. When you reach the station, the snowshoe trail branches left into the forest. The snow-covered firs and the crunch of snow under your shoes make you forget the elevation gain, and once at the top, the view over Engelberg almost takes your breath away. Now you have earned a break. The cozy, all-wood Bergrestaurant Flühmatt invites you to linger. Then the path continues along the edge of the forest, with the majestic Titlis rising behind you. It is worth pausing again and again, turning around and enjoying the breathtaking view. The sight gives new energy, and even tired legs are forgotten in the beauty of nature. After a well-deserved break on the sunny terrace of the cozy Bergrestaurant Ristis, you finally take the gondola down into the valley. The way back to the train station, the starting point, is comfortably done with the free sport bus." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2970232/587cf644923408dc06e88fd95d423898392eba2eecb9beb14ee32831391b0223/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Snowshoe trail Engelberg-Ristis =============================== - Tip - 3.44 km long - Difficulty: medium - Condition: medium - Great panorama - Snowshoe Beautiful but strenuous snowshoeing route to the Berglodge Ristis with the possibility of a stopover at the Bergrestaurant Flühmatt.
