Vom Bahnhof Engelberg, dem Startpunkt der 4-Seen Biketour fahren Sie zur Talstation der Bergbahn TITLIS und links weiter über die geteerte Gerschnistrasse (auf der Strasse muss mit Werkverkehr gerechnet werden) Richtung Untertrübsee. Vorbei an der Alp Untertrübsee biegt nach rund einem Kilometer links ein Kiesweg ab. Ab da sind starke Beine gefordert. Der grobe Kies stellt hohe Ansprüche an Kondition und Fahrtechnik. Die Aussicht auf den Titlis und das Wissen, dass es oben mit der Sesselbahn weitergeht, lassen Sie die Strapazen vergessen. Die gut 400 Höhenmeter vom Trübsee auf den Jochpass lassen sich mit der Sesselbahn bewältigen. Ab hier geht es über einen wunderschön angelegten Singletrail (1 Meter Wegbreite) dem Engstlensee entgegen.
Kurze Pause fällig? Eine Abkühlung bietet das glasklare Gletscherwasser. Haben Sie den See passiert folgen Sie einer Strecke von ca. 600m entlang der Spycherflue hoch bis Tannalp. Nun geht es auf einer breiten Teerstrasse dem tiefblauen Tannalpsee und schönen Alpweiden entlang, gemütlich abwärts dem Melchsee entgegen. Auf der Melchsee-Frutt angekommen fahren Sie über die Melchtalerstrasse nach Stöckalp. Diese Strasse ist abwärts nur zu den ungeraden Stunden befahrbar (z.B. 11.00-11.40 Uhr). Durchs Melchtal von St. Niklausen bis nach Kerns fahren Sie auf der Hauptstrasse. Im Dorfzentrum von Kerns folgen Sie der Strasse Richtung Stans. Angekommen in dem idyllischen Dorfkern von Stans geht es mit der Zentralbahn (stündlich immer xx.24) zurück nach Engelberg dem Ausgangspunkt der Tour.
Technische Details

There is always something going on in Engelberg.
Night skiing on the Klostermatte, night sledding and a night cross-country skiing: the evening atmosphere is unforgettable. Mountain railroads and huts are of course open for this. You can also go snowshoeing, snow tubing or winter hiking.
On Trübsee the regular Trübsee Saturday Night Event is already legendary. Between Christmas and Easter it takes place every Saturday evening. The cable cars between Engelberg and Trübsee then travel in convoy, always 12 gondolas in a row. The Trübsee slide park opens, as does the Lago Torbido restaurant, the Fonduestübli and the Trübsee Bar.
Whether Mafia Dinner at the Hotel Terrace, Early-Bird, game watching, StrongMan Run by Fisherman's friend or the annual concert of the music society: there is always something to experience in Engelberg.

The ski and toboggan slopes as well as the Yeti park for children are in the immediate vicinity of the lodge.

In the evening the restaurant is opened exclusively for overnight guests or registered groups.
Restaurants Engelberg
Besides the restaurants in the village of Engelberg, almost every hotel has its own restaurant. In addition, you will find some mountain huts on the Titlis and on the Brunni, which mostly offer smaller meals as catering on the mountain.
- Brunnihüttli at the Härzli lake of Brunni
The Brunnihüttli is reached directly by chairlift. It has a large outdoor terrace. You can also spend the night here. It is closed during the maintenance times of the Brunni lifts, but the shelter is always open. It belongs to the Swiss Alpine Club and offers 32 sleeping places. In winter, this is the center of winter sports, especially since winter sports equipment is also available for rent. A sledding trail starts right at the hut. In the other months you can hike here, go around the Härzli lake or walk the tickle trail. Not far from the hut there is also a starting point for paragliders in winter. In summer, several high-altitude trails and climbing tours start here.
- Chruiter Hüttli (herb hut) at Lake Härzli
The Kräuter Hütte is also located at Lake Härzli. It is open daily in summer from 08:30 to 17:00. At the snack stand you can get snacks and drinks (cold and hot). Sausage and bread for grilling are also sold here. Climbing sets can be rented here.
- Alpstübli at Trübsee Titlis
