🏔 Ridge Hike Trail, Nidwalden/Uri
☀️ Is there even something out there that compares to the Hardergrat Trail? Yesss!🙌🏻 This breathtaking ridge trail is based in central Switzerland, which you have probably never heard about! It covers around 18km on a ridge and 6 different peaks! Yes, a challenge that will get your adrenaline pumpin🤩 along this trail you'll continuously have panoramic views over the Vierwaltstättersee on one side and Engelbergse mountain range on the other side, I couldn't think of a better combination 🌞

ℹ️ You can take the Cable Car from Emmetten to get to the start of this hike, which is called Niederbauen. After you completed this incredible hike, you take the chair lift down from Haldigrat and walk for 10 more minutes to Niederrickenbach, where you can take the cable car down to Niederrickenbach or Dallenwil Station. If you came with public transport, you can continue your journey home. If you came with the car, then it's an easy journey back to Emmetten 🚈
ℹ️ You can cut out half of the route by ending your trip at Klewenalp. I will post more about this soon
⚠️ This is a T4 hike, so hiking experience is required
