CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING TRACKS
Well-prepared cross-country trails are at your disposal in Engelberg. If you tackle the tracks in the valley, you start and finish at the Sporting Park, where there are also cloakrooms with showers and a restaurant. As an option you can also park at the Brunni lifts and get into the valley tracks perfectly. You can reach the cross-country skiing area on Gerschnialp via the funicular and it is best to use the TITLIS Xpress car park.
