Explanation
From Engelberg railway station, the starting point of the Engelberg - Alpkäserei Gerschni - Café Ritz - Gerschnialp bike tour, you head to the valley station of the TITLIS mountain railway and continue left along the tarmac Gerschnistrasse (you should expect to encounter works traffic on the road) towards Untertrübsee. Climbing steadily but protected from the sun by the forest, you head towards your destination. When the forest clears, there are still a few bends to the fork in the road. Here you turn left towards Gerschnialp and enter the forest again. From the top station of the funicular railway, you head towards the Gerschnialp Alpine cheese dairy, where the award-winning Sbrinz cheese is produced by cheesemaker Sälmi - a real gem of cheese making. After the cheese tasting, the route continues towards the Café Bergrestaurant Ritz. This is a welcome stop-off point. The Ritz is known for its seasonal cuisine and grilled dishes. The sun terrace with its panoramic view is so beautiful that you won't want to get up again. The subsequent descent is an absolute must for advanced bikers. The newly built Gerschnitrail offers something for all experienced bikers, from singletrail character to bike park berms and many jumps, the Gerschnitrail offers lots of fun and airtime.
For leisurely bikers, the route leads back to Engelberg via the tarmac road.
