Daily from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Berghotel Engstligenalp
Switzerland’s largest plateau is a summer paradise for some, the perfect hiking destination for others, and for many, simply a place of spiritual renewal. But the Engstligenalp isn’t just impressive because of the Engstligen Falls, where the water roars and foams as it plunges 600 meters down two cascades. You’ll also get a real taste of alpine life in the meadows with cows grazing freely. Whether you’re looking for relaxation in the mountains or adventure on the plateau—nature experiences are guaranteed on the Engstligenalp!
Why leave the Engstligenalp on the last cable car down when you can extend your stay and spend the night? As the sun slowly sets on the horizon, a very special magic spreads across Switzerland’s largest plateau. If you are looking for a place to stay on the Engstligenalp, you will definitely find the right room!
Plan your team event or even your Christmas party on the Engstligenalp now. Our recipe for experiences that bring people together: impressive nature, a surprising supporting programme and hearty cuisine – whether on the plateau in summer or in our fondue igloos in winter.
Adorned with bells, around 500 cows make their way up steep rocky trails to the Engstligenalp during the June alpine cattle drive, where they spend the summer on lush green pastures.
From mid-June through the end of August, the freely grazing cows define the landscape of the Engstligenalp and lend it a very special atmosphere.
