  • Destination: Fürenalp/Engelberg
The Fürenalp cable car conveniently reaches the broad and consistently steep south slope of Wissberg – a difficult ski mountaineering peak with breathtaking views.

Try the Wissberg ski tour from the Fürenalp mountain station to Wissberg. Enjoy the panoramic view of the Engelberg mountain world before taking the descent back to the Fürenalp cable car station or directly down to Engelberg. Thanks to the intense sunlight on the southwest-facing slope, spring snow is encountered early in the season on Wissberg. You need about 2 hours for the altitude difference of 800 meters. The tour is classified as difficult.
