Snowshoe trails
Well-marked snowshoe trails offer you the opportunity to explore Engelberg's pristine terrain. Rental equipment is available in the local sports shops or directly at the cable car stations. All you need to bring is a bit of fitness, waterproof boots, breathable clothing and small backpack for a drink, sun protection and, if necessary, a change of clothes.

Explore the Brunni area with snowshoes and enjoy breathtaking views on the sunny side of Engelberg. The free sports bus takes you from Engelberg station to the Brunni valley station, where you can take the Brunni-Bahn on Ristis. The 3 km long Schönenboden snowshoe trail starts at the restaurant Ristis and first follows the road west past the valley station. After about 1 km, it goes uphill; once at the highest point, enjoy the view of Engelberg. The trail then leads downhill and crosses the winter hiking trail. Back to the starting point, it first goes over open terrain and then along the forest. This route has several altitude meters to overcome, making it somewhat longer and slightly more demanding than the Riedalp trail.
Author’s recommendation
Take a break on the sunny terrace of the mountain restaurant Ristis and enjoy the wonderful view of the surrounding mountain scenery.
