Engelberg Summer News 2018 ENGELBERG SUMMER NEWS 2018 Engelberg is fast becoming Central Switzerland’s premier bike destination. The new Joch Pass trail offers great biking fun for riders of all abilities and preferences, whether they like to ride fast or slow, to tackle tough terrain or take it easy. Safety is always paramount, and our new Ride & Safe- ty deal makes sure you stay secure in the saddle. More active summer fun in Engelberg comes with two fixed dates on the event calendar: the Fisherman’s Friend StrongmanRun obstacle race, which attracts some of the world’s toughest and craziest runners; and the Winnetou open-air spec- tacular, which brings all the flair of the Wild West to our picturesque Alpine landscape. Hikers can enjoy an adventurous Buiräbähnli Safari – tours that include walks across fragrant Alpine mead- ows, visits to cosy mountain huts, and rides on the rustic “Buiräbähnli” cable cars. ACTIVITIES NEW JOCH PASS TRAIL With 440 metres of descent, this new 5 km trail offers plenty of fun and flow for riders of all abilities. The trail starts at the Joch Pass mountain station, from where it snakes downhill to Trübsee. The route’s curves, bumps and rollers have been designed in such a way to provide equal fun for beginners and more advanced riders. Tip: For even more cycling pleasure, take the Four Lakes Tour up to the Joch Pass from Melchsee-Frutt, and conclude with the exciting downhill ride along the Joch Pass Trail down to Trübsee. www.engelberg.ch/en/bike NEW BUIRÄBÄHNLI SAFARI TOURS The recently introduced Buiräbähnli Safaris are proving to be a big hit with summer guests. These multi-day hikes through the Engelberg valley incorporate rides on the rustic “Buiräbähnli” cable cars, enabling walkers to quickly gain altitude while enjoying an unusual mode of transport. There is now a new Safari between Brändlen and Oberrickenbach, with two additional quaint and quirky cars to quicken your pulse. The open-topped car from Spies to Sinsgäu offers a particularly bracing ride. There’s also good news if you’d like to stay awhile on your own two feet: walking is still the only way to traverse the Haldigrat ridge! www.engelberg.ch/en/safari ENGELBERG-TITLIS TOURISMUS SUMMER NEWS 2018 FREE SUMMER PROGRAMME WITH MORE WILD WEST FLAIR Engelberg’s outdoor entertainments programme has become an integral part of the summer season. This year again, we welcome Winnetou and his entourage to Engelberg. Watch the Apache chief and his blood brother Old Shatterhand as they go on the hunt for lost treasure, and find out more about the open-air show on a tour behind the scenes. You can also paddle across the lake in an Apache- style canoe, and even catch your own fish. Engelberg’s summer activities programme is available free of charge to overnight guests, and there are two activities each day from Monday to Friday. First come, first served – places are limited. www.engelberg.ch/en/sommerprogramm BETTER INFORMATION TO GET YOU THERE QUICKER This summer, hikers, bikers and climbers can quickly get all the information they need about individual routes in a more compact, easily accessible form. In cooperation with Outdoor Aktive, we have updated the information on our website with additional material like good maps and extra details. Take a look and test it out! www.engelberg.ch/en/sommer PACKAGE DEALS RIDE AND SAFETY DAYS, SEPTEMBER 2018 The Ride & Safety Days in September show cyclists how to play safe. Local bike guides teach course participants basic rules, introduce them to various types of terrain, and allow them to test what they have learned on trails across the region. With plenty of knowledge about cycling safely, you’ll have even more fun on your bike. Good to know: the course is free of charge for overnight guests. Dates: 8-9 & 15-16 September 2018. Free of charge for guest card holders. Places are limited. Tip: Early bookers will again be rewarded with our popular Ride & Safety deals including lots of tempting extras. www.engelberg.ch/en/bike ENGELBERG-TITLIS TOURISMUS SUMMER NEWS 2018 ROCK AND SAFETY DAYS, JUNE AND SEPTEMBER 2018 The Rock and Safety Days are a great event for anyone interested in via ferratas. On four occasions in June and September, our local mountain guides will introduce beginners to the world of climbing. Engelberg has six diverse via ferratas to suit the needs of everyone from beginners to pros. Dates: 25-27 June and 3-5 September 2018. *free of charge with Guest Card / number of places is limited www.engelberg.ch/en/rock&safety TOP-EVENTS FISHERMAN’S FRIEND STRONGMANRUN; 2 JUNE 2018 This June, the FISHERMAN’S FRIEND StrongmanRun comes to Engelberg for the 6th time. This extra-strong event takes competitors across scree, through icy-cold rivers, along deep crevasses, and over barbed wire. To master all these challenges, the participants need great physical stamina and mental endurance as well as impressive athletic ability. The woods and meadows of Engelberg, overlooked by the majestic Hahnen and Titlis, offer a poetic backdrop to this tougher-than-tough race. Tip: Also for this event, we are putting together the popular package with many extras for quick-decision-makers. www.engelberg.ch/en/events DORFSTRASSE GOES COUNTRY THIS JULY AND AUGUST Balmy summer evenings, a cool beer in your hand, and the barn- storming sound of country music in your ears. This summer, our mountain village will be transformed into a frontier town thanks to the open-air show, and Winnetou and his friends are even influencing our taste in music. Our “Jazz in der Dorfstrasse” series of concerts will be replaced by “Country in der Dorfstrasse”, with country bands performing to audiences of enthusiastic toe-tappers and hip-swingers at a restaurant in or around Dorfstrasse every Friday evening. Dates: 13/20/27 July and 3/10 August 2018 www.engelberg.ch/en/country ENGELBERG-TITLIS TOURISMUS SUMMER NEWS 2018 BIKE TRAIL OPENING ON 14/15 JULY 2018 The new 5 km flow trail from the Joch Pass to Trübsee opens this summer.

  • Economic Significance of Cableways Illustrated by the Example of Titlis Rotair in Engelberg, Near to Lucerne, Switzerland
    Economic Significance of Cableways Illustrated by the Example of Titlis Rotair in Engelberg, near to Lucerne, Switzerland by Eugenio Rüegger1 Structure of Lecture: 1. Geography / Transportation 2. History 3. Important Background Information on Engelberg 4. Tourism in Switzerland 5. Facts & Figures 6. Business Management 7. Economic Significance for Engelberg Tourist Resort 8. Connection of Tourism with Alpine Agriculture 9. Cableway Companies and Ecology 10. Cableway Companies and their Social Environment 11. Conclusions 1. Geography / Transportation Engelberg is situated in an alpine valley at the base of Mount Titlis at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level (3,280 ft.). In the commuter belt of Northern- and Central Switzerland, Mount Titlis is the nearest beauty spot, which, thanks to the glacier on top, guarantees for ice and snow all year round. Getting to Engelberg is easy. The LSE (train between Lucerne and Engelberg) has been in service for 100 years now, and the road that connects Lucerne with the resort is in perfect condition as well. A car ride from Lucerne to Engelberg takes about half an hour. Therefore Engelberg does not profit from vacation tourism only, but also from day trip business. It is no use to mention that day trip business, of course, involves disadvantages as well. On the other hand, Titlis Rotair is particularly interested in achieving a better base in use of capacity during the week. This again is related with the supply of hotels in the tourist resort. Titlis Rotair operates 20 different transportation facilities, thereby offering ski runs of all levels of difficulty.

  • Via Alpina Hiking Passbook Motifs Explanation
    Via Alpina hiking passbook Motifs explanation Stamp N° 1 Vaduz Castle Vaduz Castle is the hallmark of the capital of Liechtenstein and stands out from miles away. Said to date back to the 12 century, the castle was acquired by the House of Liechtenstein in 1712 and served as the bailiwick’s seat. It was later expanded under the order of Prince Franz Josef II, who took up permanent residence in the castle with his family in 1939. Stamp N° 2 Porcini mushroom If you look carefully, you can find porcini mushrooms growing around Sargans. Beech forests with a lot of fallen dead wood, as little grass growth as possible and gaps in the canopy that allow warming rays of sunshine to reach the forest floor make particularly promising sites. However, these edible mushrooms may only be collected in small quantities for personal use. Stamp N° 3 Ibex Ibexes were reintroduced to the Weisstannen Valley near Mels a good 100 years ago. The animals’ most striking feature is their horns, which are large and imposing on males and smaller and finer on females. You’ll need a head for heights if you want to catch a glimpse of one though, as ibexes are usually found climbing in rocky regions far above the treeline. Stamp N° 4 Cairn Every now and again up on the Foo Pass you’ll discover a cairn – a small mound or tower of stones usually built in a prominent location. They are an archaic form of signpost designed to help hikers find their way across rough and complex terrain, particularly in high mountain regions.
