Winter hiking trails

Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, the fresh mountain air and the sweet sound of snow crunching under your feet.

Author’s recommendation
The Untertrübsee restaurant is known for its meringues and is therefore also known to locals and Engelberg enthusiasts as the Meringue Curve.
