Medium-length and steep at the end approach hike from Engelberg to the Spannorthütte SAC (1,956 m) in the Urner Alps.

From the entrance to the wild romantic Suren Valley, the hiking trail winds diversely along the Engelberger Aa. After a short break at Alp Stäfeli, the previously comfortable path turns into an alpine trail that requires surefootedness. Arriving at the cozy SAC hut, you ask yourself: stay overnight, enjoy a beautiful sunset, or hike back (the same way).
