Bordbahn

You have your equipment and food ready and want to go up the mountain? Here you will find all the information about the area and the cable car.

The Bord-Bahn can be reached on foot in about 30 minutes from the village center. (Train station - monastery - Wydenstrasse - Kilchbüel or via Grottenweg) The train goes up to Unteren Bord, from where you can hike comfortably in 30 minutes to Flühmatt or in 45 minutes up to Ristis.

Life with the cable car

The small cable cars in the Engelberg Valley are indispensable from a tourist point of view. They are considered a true cultural asset by visitors and locals alike. However, even in this century, the Bähnli are primarily important means of transport for the farming families, who can only meet their daily needs by ropeway.

The way to the village from the two families Waser and Tschümperlin.

For families and guests - The Buiräbähnli to the area Bord

The small cable car connects the two families Waser as well as Tschümperlin with the monastery village Engelberg and makes life much easier since 2005. Before, there was only a small laborious hiking trail and a daredevil transport railroad that united them with the outside world. Thanks to support from the canton, institutions and a lot of own work, the construction of the new railroad could be started in 2004. The railroad now has two intermediate exits, which can be operated at the push of a button. The current lift makes the everyday life of the two families immensely easier. The children can now comfortably use the railroad to school all year round. Thanks to the income from hikers, bikers or freeriders, the operating costs can be covered.
