HIGHLIGHTS SUMMER 2019
Winter is slowly coming to an end, although skiing on the Titlis is still possible until 26 May 2019.
The mountain summer is just around the corner and brings some new highlights. The focus is on
the new culinary pleasure hike, which is ideal for hikers, families and connoisseurs - the Alpkäse
Trail. Engelberg is even more attractive for families with the new theme playground and the
Zipline on Trübsee.
Not to forget: E-mountain biking is an increasingly popular activity, which is why a new e-bike
route was created. In addition to great packages, guests are offered events in both the sporting
and cultural fields. A visit to Engelberg is always worthwhile this summer!
NEW ACTIVITIES
ALPINE CHEESE TRAIL
The new Alpine Cheese Trail is an appetizing hike through
Engelberg’s diverse natural landscape that takes in eight different
Alpine dairies. Each day, the farmers here make outstanding
cheeses by hand from the finest Alpine milk. Complete the trail on
a multi-day hike or explore individual sections – on foot, by bike, or
by e-bike.

THE TRÜBSEE FLYER – A ZIPPY NEW ADVENTURE
This secure 400-metre steel zipline allows you to whizz speedily but
safely down from Trübsee Alpine Lodge to the playground by the
lake. As there are two lines, you can make the trip even more fun
by riding alongside a friend. The line starts 20 metres above the
Alpine Lodge and ends 40 metres of descent lower down, right next
to the “smuggler and sumpter” themed playground by lake Trübsee.

SMUGGLERS’ PLAYGROUND & SUMPTERS’ CAMP AT TRÜBSEE
“Once upon a time there was a smuggler named Engelbert. He
regularly had to take the arduous path from Engelberg, over the Joch
Pass, to the Engstlenalp, leading his pack mule Schmuggli. One day
when the duo arrived at Trübsee, Schmuggli decided he was tired of
carrying the heavy load and set about disposing of all Engelbert’s
“ wares. The mule dug a whole series of hiding places, creating a
labyrinth of paths, trenches and tunnels…” This is the story on which
the new themed recreation area by Lake Trübsee is based. An array
of exciting playground equipment, barbecue grills, and inviting seats
encourage guests to while away a few summer hours here before
setting out on the Schmuggli themed walk around the lake.

E-BIKE ROUTES
Take a bike tour without sweating? E-bikes make this possible and
promise pure riding fun. Explore the wonderful mountain world
around the monastery village on our e-bike routes. For example, the
newly built road to Blackenalp is ideal as an e-bike tour - pure nature
and a magnificent mountain panorama. Culinary delights are not
neglected either. The small mountain taverns and alpine cheese
dairies along the way are perfect for a stop in between. Various e-
bikes are available in various sports shops. Ride on!

TOP EVENTS
10TH FISHERMAN’S FRIEND STRONGMANRUN ON 1 JUNE
2019
The Fisherman’s Friend StrongmanRun offers plenty of crazy
challenges. Competitors need endurance, agility and plenty of
physical and mental stamina as they pound across scree slopes,
plunge through icy cold rivers, race beside deep chasms, and crawl
through barbed wire. On 1 June 2019, the grueling event comes to
Engelberg for the seventh time. The beautiful setting of Alpine
pastures, forests, and the lofty Hahnen and Titlis mountains make
this a truly breathtaking occasion.
For the tenth edition of the StrongmanRun, a special competition
has been added – the 10k Jubilee Race. Be a part of this unique
event! Over the coming months the organisers will reveal what
special features the 10-kilometre route will include. And remember:
participants who book early can take advantage of our popular
package deal with lots of tempting extras.

FOOD
A NEW LOOK FOR THE RISTIS RESTAURANT
The Ristis mountain restaurant is being renovated, and will reveal
its new look in early summer 2019. The restaurant will still have
parts with table service, but the self-service area is being enlarged
and improved. The restaurant will be even more attractive for
families, with a special child-friendly section. From July, it will also
be able to host conferences and meetings of up to 150 participants.
The owners of the restaurant, the Brunni-Bahnen cableway
company, worked hard to make the redesigned building carbon
neutral and more sustainable. The new roof will have solar panels,
enabling Brunni-Bahnen to generate 130,000 kWh per year and
cover around 15 percent of its own annual electricity needs.
