The complete multi-day Buiräbähnli Safari takes 17.30 hours (pure hiking time) and promises impressive nature moments, authentic encounters, and nostalgic cable car experiences on every stage. Stage 1 leads from Engelberg via Lutersee to Wolfenschiessen.
This stage starts directly at Engelberg station – and soon it is time to immerse yourself in a world full of nature, views, and authenticity.
Via Zingel and the idyllic Lutersee, you hike up to Eggendössli before the first Buiräbähnli (Rugisbalm) safely takes you down to Grafenort.
From here follows a comfortable section along the Engelberger Aa to the valley station of the Bielenbahn, which takes you directly up to the Alp Bielen.
The hiking trail now leads gently downhill via Schwand to Diegisbalm – and if you still have energy, you can make a short detour to the Oberalp. The Buiräbähnli there run according to your mood – you can decide whether to go there or back.
The last cable car section of this day takes you down to Wolfenschiessen. From here, a short walk along the Aa leads directly to the village center.
Author’s recommendation
In the village center of Wolfenschiessen, the charming Hotel Alpina Einhorn, the official Buiräbähnli Safari hotel, is waiting for you. The rooms are lovingly named after the cable cars – perfect for arriving, relaxing, and getting ready for the next stage.
