Engstlenalp Lake and Alpine Trails

Discover the pristine beauty of Engstlenalp, a high-alpine valley with a shimmering turquoise lake nestled amidst majestic peaks. Accessible from Hasliberg via scenic routes, this area is a paradise for hikers, offering a variety of trails from easy lakeside strolls to more demanding ascents. The Engstlenalp Lake, fed by glaciers, is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and offers opportunities for fishing (with a permit). The surrounding alpine meadows burst with wildflowers in summer. Several mountain restaurants and a hotel provide refreshments and accommodation. The drive up to Engstlenalp (or PostBus access) is an experience in itself, with stunning scenery. This area truly embodies the untouched beauty of the Swiss Alps and is ideal for nature photography and serene outdoor activities.
