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.

Selected alternatives for you
At the foot of the Titlis, stroll through the Gerschniwald and leave your tracks in the fresh powder snow – the Gerschnialp snowshoe trail offers a pure nature experience.

The Titlis funicular takes snowshoers from Titlis valley station to the start of the snowshoe trail in a short time. From the mountain station, follow the road for a short stretch until you reach the well-marked starting point of the Gerschnialp trail, which soon leads to the first highlight of the tour, the Gerschniwald. Deeply snow-covered firs, covered tree stumps, and the crunching of snow underfoot immerse you in a fairy-tale world. Once the forest edge near Schlegi is reached, the route continues through open terrain along Bitzistock. Soon the Untertrübsee mountain restaurant appears in the distance, marking the halfway point of the tour. At Untertrübsee restaurant, the meringue with cream is a secret tip. The route first leads over a wide meadow, offering views of the surrounding mountain world, before returning along the forest edge to the Gerschnialp mountain station. The funicular takes you back down to the valley after the tour.
Out of consideration for cross-country skiers, only the marked snowshoe trail is used and not the parallel cross-country ski track.
Author’s recommendation
With the mountain railway "Älplerseil," this trail can also be connected with the Obertrübsee trail. This guarantees even more snowshoeing fun.
