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.

For cross-country skiers, the stop to remember is called "Sportingpark". From the train station also reachable on foot in 5 minutes. The Sun track branches off from the valley track at camping Eienwäldli. It leads up the sunny side of the valley to the valley station of the Fürenalp cable car. You can either go back the same way or on the valley cross-country trail. Another entrance and exit is at the end of the Oberbergstrasse at the terminus of the ski bus.
