    Have you always wanted to go on a multi-day hike? If so, we recommend the Buiräbähnli Safari. This challenging hike takes roughly 20 hours and includes two overnight stops. The circular trail starts and finishes at Engelberg railway station.

    The following morning the hike continues via Gigi to Haldigrat, then back down along the zigzag trail to Haghütte and onwards up to Bannalp. Here you join the Walen Trail as far as Alp Oberfeld, the location of your second overnight stay on the hike.

    Author’s recommendation

    In the Brändeln there is the possibility to stay overnight and to eat there - but only on reservation.  One night costs CHF 40.00
