GEISSMATTLI - BIELEN

You have your equipment and food ready and want to go up the mountain? Here you will find all the information about the area and the cable car.

The mountain area Bielen is located at 1100 meters and can be reached via the Bielenbahn. The area is mainly visited by paragliders and has a small parking lot at the Geissmattli valley station. Otherwise, the cable car can also be reached in 15 minutes from the Zentralbahn stop Grafenort.

Life with the cable car

The small cable cars in the Engelberg Valley are indispensable from a tourist point of view. They are considered a true cultural asset by visitors and locals alike. However, even in this century, the Bähnli are primarily important means of transport for the farming families, who can only meet their daily needs by ropeway.

Sepp Niederberger and Fränzi Amrein run the Bielenbahn and take care of the alp on the Bielen with a lot of passion.

The Buiräbähnli to the alp of Sepp Niederberger and Fränzi Amrein

Bielen is a popular starting point for paragliders, indeed the alp of Sepp Niederberger and Fränzi Amrein and their three children is a paragliding mecca. Their property lies at an altitude of over 1110 meters above sea level and captivates with a fantastic view of the Engelberg valley. A place where not only Sepp and Fränzi feel at home. The farm is also home to several llamas, alpacas, sheep, chickens, geese, rabbits, cats and a dog. Working at this altitude is anything but easy, and the steep slopes make the job of haymaking difficult. They are visited by "time-out kids" who want to take a break from their difficult daily lives and experience the beautiful mountain scenery and mountain life on a family farm. At the mountain station there is also a small coffee house with a kiosk.
