Explanation
Medium-length and towards the end steep approach hike from Engelberg to the Spannorthütte SAC (1,956 m) in the Uri Alps.
From the entrance to the wildly romantic Surenental valley, the hiking trail meanders in a varied manner along the Engelberger Aa river. After a short rest at Alp Stäfeli, the previously comfortable path turns into an alpine trail that requires surefootedness. Arrived at the cozy SAC hut, you ask yourself the question: stay overnight, experience a beautiful sunset or hike back (the same way).
Author’s recommendation
In the Alp Stäfeli you will be served traditional Swiss dishes and a fine Älpler - Kafi.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
