    8 km · +1000 m

    A loop around the Wellenberg, this trail visits eight chapels — including the Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows at Stutzkapelle Burgholz — while offering sweeping views over the Engelberg valley.

  • 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.

  • Banalp / Chrüzhütte - Bannalper Schonegg

    3.3 km · +534 m

  • Walenpfad

    11.6 km · +946 m

    The Walenpfad threads through the Engelberg region from Brunni-Ristis to Bannalpsee, passing a notably exposed section near Walegg where the trail hugs the mountainside above a steep drop-off, secured by steel cables. The route ends at Bannalpsee, described as Nidwalden's jewel, with views of Titlis and the central Alps unfolding along the way.

  • Sinsgäuer Schonegg - Oberalp

    3 km · +299 m

    The trail crosses the broad, fog-prone Sinsgäuer Schonegg pass, flanked by the Hoh Brisen to the left and the Oberalper ridge from Chaiserstuel to Bärenstock to the right, with a distinctive lone rock bearing a cross — known locally as the "Stockzahnd" — marking the landscape. In summer, around 200 cattle graze the vast alpine pastures along the way, while the Haghütte below produces cheese during the alpine season.
