Spectacular small cable cars for hikes & tours around Engelberg

The cable car runs on demand: You sit down in it and announce yourself by phone, following which a member of the Töngi family sets the gondola in motion. Unlike most cable cars, the gondolas are not suspended in an oscillating fashion from a central running gear, but are suspended at the front and back. Thus, they tilt according to the gradient of the track rope and tilt forwards or backwards when this changes. This effect is particularly impressive during the descent in this lower section, when the gondola passes the mast on the cliff edge and the track rope tilts abruptly towards the bottom of the valley.

The railroad is always open - summer and winter. There is no timetable. When you arrive at the station, you call the Töngi family with the nostalgic telephone and get all the information you need to go up.

The pass includes the ride with 8 Buiräbähnli in the Engelberg valley. The rides can be taken on different days and do not have to be completed "in one piece".

The Bielen mountain area is located at 1100 meters and can be reached via the Bielen cable car.

Otherwise, the mountain railroad can also be reached in 15 minutes from the Zentralbahn stop Grafenort.

The organic mountain farm Oberalp is located on the sunny side of the Engelberg valley at 1413m above sea level and belongs to the municipality of Wolfenschiessen.

The Arnold family of mountain farmers attaches great importance to animal-friendly husbandry and manages the steep mountain slopes with Rhaetian gray cattle.
