We love this gentle panorama hike near Engelberg that traverses the mountain, leading to a roaring waterfall. Then the trail follows the river down into the Engelberg valley. It’s so beautiful with many mountain peaks in view and varied terrain, from wide open fields to narrow rocky paths to forest to rivers.

The Fürenalp cable car stays open into mid November, making it a good choice for fall when other lifts close. One year, we had a spell of warm sunny weather the second week of November and had a great time on this trail.

Although it’s a bit long, it’s still a good choice for new hikers and kids because its either flat or downhill the whole time. If you want a harder hike, just hike it backwards, going uphill the whole time.

If you prefer not to hike, you can simply enjoy the views from the restaurant terrace, which has a nice playground next to it with a trampoline. No matter what you do at Fürenalp, I’m sure you’ll love it.
