    The Via Sbrinz follows an ancient mule track once used by muleteers carrying wheels of Sbrinz cheese over the Grimselpass to markets in northern Italy, a trade route that flourished in the late Middle Ages. Today the path threads past three lakes and two dams, with the Oberhasli hydroelectric works visible along the way.

  • Obwaldner Höhenweg

    98.3 km · +5375 m

    The Obwaldner Höhenweg traces a high-level path with sweeping views into the rugged Melchtal valley — territory of eagles and chamois — before crossing Storegg, a historic pass once walked by pilgrims travelling from Obwalden to the monastery village of Engelberg. Along the way, the route passes quaint alp chapels, climbs to Älggialp near the geographical centre of Switzerland, and crests a rock barrier onto the lofty lake plateau of Melchsee-Frutt.

  • 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.
