Hiking on the sunny side of Engelberg with a perfect view of the Titlis and the local mountain Hahnen - this is not an empty promise on the panoramic trail Ristis - Rigidalalp - Brunnihütte.

From Engelberg train station, the free local bus takes you to Brunni valley station, from where you can take the Brunni cable car up to Ristis. Here you have reached the starting point of the Panorama Trail. Always slightly uphill and with breathtaking views you walk on the well prepared hiking trail towards Rigidalalp. In good weather, the photo subject "Hausberg Hahnen" presents itself from its best side and stands out with its imposing planks against the bright blue sky. After half an hour's walk, you reach the Rigidalalp mountain inn. In good weather, guests are offered rustic coziness and Engelberg specialties. Once you have had your fill of refreshments and the view, you can start the ascent to the Brunnihütte. After a few minutes of ascent, the SAC hut is already in sight. The large sun terrace offers space for sun-seekers and tired hikers. What better way to end a day of hiking than with a delicious hut café and a view of the Titlis? Then it's a comfortable ride back down to the valley with the chairlift and from Ristis with the cable car.
