Hiking: Surenenpass

View Hiking Surenenpass in a larger map

It was steaming hot the other day, so we chose to head up to Surenenpass to see if it cooled off higher up! Surenenpass is the pass to the southeast, and you end up all the way down in Attinghausen if you walk it all the way. From there, you can take the train back to Engelberg for a full-day activity. The Surenen valley has beautiful and open terrain, a spectacular waterfall, and an amazing view over the Spannort mountains. There is also a climbing area perfect for bouldering where half of the crew stopped for the day.

The rest of us continued up to Fürenalp passing the Stäfeli hütte where local cheese is produced. From there the hiking is more advanced, however you can also take a small cable car to avoid the steepest part. Up at Fürenalp we sat down for a well deserved picnic, nothing beats a Landjäger and local Klostercheese after an exhausting hike.

Time: 2-3 hours
Difficulty:3-5 (depending on if you take the lift at Stäfeli)
