    The starting point of this trail is the Jochpass at 2200m above sea level. To get there, take the Titlis Xpress from Engelberg to Trübsee and travel the short distance along Trübsee to the Jochpass chairlift. Once at the top, the fun begins next to the top station of the Engstlen chairlift on the flowing, one-meter-wide trail towards Engstlenalp. On this bike route, riding pleasure is paramount; harmoniously integrated into the landscape, it is by no means only for downhill enthusiasts. You can comfortably return to the start with the chairlift. So much fun gives rise to hunger and thirst. The Berghuis Jochpass has a lot to offer culinarly. “Urner Häfelichabis,” a traditional stew, homemade corn croquettes, the lukewarm chocolate cake, or the meat patties – you have the hard choice. It's sure that it's worth taking a seat on the terrace or fighting for one of the deck chairs. When the day is over, the fun riding doesn't stop. The descent back to the valley goes via the newly created Flowtrail Jochpass-Trübsee (see route description) and from there via Untertrübsee to Engelberg.
