With the Buiräbähnli Rugisbalm - Mettlen you climb the modest peak east of the Widderfeld Stock from the Engelberg valley. The summit crowned with cornices drops steeply on the local side in a rock wall and offers a magnificent view downwards. In the beautiful slopes of Lutersee you often find sensational powder snow.
Author’s recommendation
Safe snow fun in powder snow at the Snow & Safety Days.
