Fürenalp
A high alpine pasture on the east side of Engelberg, reached by a small cable car that climbs straight to 1,850 m, with waterfall walks and a via ferrata. It is quieter than Titlis.
Fürenalp is an alpine pasture in the valley east of Engelberg. From the town centre, take a bus or ride a bike to the Fürenalp cable car station (about 4 km). The steep cable car climbs to the mountaintop restaurant at 1,850 m in just a few minutes, with views of the Titlis and the Spannort peaks. In summer there are gentle pasture trails, a waterfall path and the more demanding Fürenwand via ferrata. On the way down you can walk past the Stäuber Falls back to the valley floor. Visitor numbers are noticeably lower than at Titlis, making it ideal for a half-day trip if you want to avoid the crowds.
Opening hours
