Steinberg
Engelberg-Titlis Tourismus Explorers Choice
On the descent over the Steinberg from Klein Titlis to Trübsee there are various possibilities. All variants lead in upper part over the glacier. There is a danger of crevasses. The classic "S" is the simplest and most rewarding option around the larger crevasse zone. Further variants are: "GaF" (All on the rock), left of the cable car and "Never Sun".
