Difficulty

PD-
Ascent

1:30–2 h, 690 m
Exposure

SW

This is a pretty, sunny and easy ski tour with Engstlenalp, quiet in winter, as the starting point. It is best to get there from the Engelberg skiing area across Jochpass. From the summit you can enjoy the view down to the crowds on the ski runs, which you left behind two hours before. The access to Engstlenalp from Melchsee Frutt is very flat and has 150 metres of vertical height more than the ascent described here.
