Surenen Pass
Surenenpass
A historic mountain pass at 2,291 m and a classic long-distance hike from Engelberg to the canton of Uri.
Surenenpass lies east of Engelberg. Since the Middle Ages it has been a grazing route between Obwalden and Uri. The classic route starts from Fürenalp or Engelberg, crosses the pass via the Stäfeli mountain hut, then descends to Attinghausen. The full hike takes about 7 to 8 hours, with views of glaciated peaks such as the Blackenstock and Spannort along the way. If you are short on energy, you can take the Brüsti cable car to shorten the descent. This is a high-alpine route that calls for an early start and hiking boots, and it is not recommended in fog or snow.
