Passing by seven different Alpine dairies, the Alpine Cheese Trail is an attractive hiking route through Engelberg’s varied natural landscape. At the farms, you will learn all there is to know about traditional Alpine cheeses and the hard lives of the Alpine farmers who graze their animals up in the mountains each summer.
The Ruchstock is the most important ski mountain of the area. Its massive, rocky summit structure is broken through by steep snow hollows, which convey the ascent to the panoramic summit plateau. Particularly impressive is the crossing of the mountain and the wonderful view.
