ALPINE CHEESE TRAIL
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.

Behind the Hotel Terrace we go up to Waldegg and Grüss. On a beautiful forest path and Alps you come to the Schwand. A rapid downhill to Kneubos/Ghärst from where you return to Engelberg on the student trail. At Oelberg you reach the Galgen-Kappeli from where you have a wonderful panorama (Hahnen, Spannörter, Titlis).
