Cross-country skiing with a view – not only will the effort take your breath away from time to time, but the view of the impressive mountain scenery will also amaze you.

At Engelberg station, a free local bus is available for winter sports enthusiasts and takes them to the various starting points. For cross-country skiers, the stop to remember is "Sportingpark". It is also reachable on foot in 5 minutes from the station and serves as the starting point for the valley trail, offering changing rooms as well as shower and catering facilities. Ready for the varied trail with different routes in the Engelberg valley? Whether classic or skating style, sporty or leisurely, the tracks through the valley offer something for everyone. First, you glide flat, only very slightly ascending along the Engelberger Aa to the golf course. There, you will find the first place to stop, the Eienwäldli restaurant. The second stop, the Wasserfall restaurant, is also right on the trail and ideal for a break. Afterwards, it is only a short distance to the valley station of the Fürenalp cable car. From here, you can either take an additional loop along the more challenging Herrenrüti trail or glide back down to Engelberg. A trail pass is required for the cross-country trails in Engelberg. Overnight guests use the trails free of charge with the guest card.
