BUIRÄBÄHNLI SAFARI

 Day 1: From Engelberg into the valley of the Bähnli

The route starts at Engelberg station. Via Zingel and Lutersee, the path leads to Eggendössli. Here, the Buiräbähnli Rugisbalm takes you to Grafenort, where you hike along the Engelberger Aa to the next cable car, the Bielenbahn. After the ride to Alp Bielen, it continues over Schwand to Diegisbalm – those who want can make a detour to Oberalp. With the next cable car, you go downhill to Wolfenschiessen, where you spend the night in the lovingly designed Hotel Alpina Einhorn.

Day 2: From Wolfenschiessen to Bannalp

Refreshed by breakfast, you go through the village to the Brändlen-Bahn. After the ride, a short ascent follows to Schmiedsboden, before the next Buiräbähnli takes hikers down to Oberrickenbach. From there, it is a short walk to the valley station Fell, where two cable cars comfortably take you to Alp Sinsgäu. Once up there, continue on foot towards Bannalp and finally along the idyllic Walenpfad to Alp Oberfeld – the stage destination.

Day 3: Finale with panorama

The path continues along the Walenpfad to the SAC Brunnihütte. From here, it goes downhill to Ristis and then on to the Bordbahn, the last cable car of the tour. Alternatively, from the hut, take the chairlift (not included in the Bähnli pass). Back to Engelberg is either on foot or with the free summer bus.
