Once you reach Hotel Waldegg, a first look over the village and towards Titlis is worthwhile. Continue on the same road through the forest until you see the mountain inn Schwand. Here a short stop before the further ascent is recommended. Refreshed, you now take the next section under your wheels. At a fork shortly after the restaurant, continue straight ahead. Continue on the road until Wandalp; from there a gravel path leads to the destination - the Walenalp. The Swiss family campfire site right next to the alp invites you to rest and linger. Enjoy a sausage you brought on the grill. The magnificent view into the Engelberg valley makes you forget the altitude meters gained.
