    Stage 65 of the Via Alpina links Engelberg in canton Obwalden to Engstlenalp, while the broader C8 stage continues onward to Meiringen — a crossing that carries walkers from the alpine heart of central Switzerland into the Bernese highlands. The route over Surenenpass, which connects canton Uri to canton Obwalden, is described as a high, quiet pass crossing through stormy, dramatic mountain terrain.

    The trail departs Altdorf across the Reuss plain, climbing through forested ascents and open alpine terrain past waypoints including Attinghausen, Cholplatz, Höchiberg, and Brüsti before reaching the Alp Grat Hut. It unfolds within the rugged Uri Alps, where dramatic peaks, expansive meadows, and the waters of Lake Uri define the landscape.

  • Nidwaldner Höhenweg

    93.3 km · +5178 m

    The Nidwaldner Höhenweg traces six stages around the Engelberg Valley, crossing flowering mountain meadows, through ancient forests, and past glittering alpine lakes, with views stretching to the glaciated 4,000-metre peaks of the Bernese Alps. Meals and nights in mountain huts punctuate the route, which reveals the region's flora and fauna alongside panoramas of countless lakes and surrounding mountains.
