    The complete Buiräbähnli Safari lasts 17.5 hours (pure hiking time) and promises impressive natural moments, authentic encounters, and nostalgic cable car experiences at every stage.

    The third and final stage starts at Alp Oberfeld and leads via the Walenpfad trail to Brunni and back to Engelberg. After just a few steps, you will be immersed in a world of sweeping views, alpine tranquility, and unspoiled mountain scenery.

    The last stage of the Buiräbähnli Safari begins at Alp Oberfeld and continues along the scenic Walenpfad trail towards the SAC Brunnihütte hut.

    After a short break at the hut, the route descends to the Ristis mountain station and then continues to Oberbord, where the last Buiräbähnli of the tour takes you down into the valley.

    If you want to make the descent easier, you can take the chairlift and cable car from the SAC Brunnihütte (not included in the Bähnlipass).

    You can return to Engelberg station either on foot or comfortably by taking the free summer bus from the Brunni valley station.
