From the Engelberg Valley Hiking Guide
Way to Little Patagonia
The hike starts in the village of Engelberg and first leads to the «Ende der Welt». The cozy restaurant serves coffee and Gipfeli. After that, it’s a short but steep uphill climb, and from the Zieblenalp you follow the hiking trail to the Fürenalp. Wonderful!
The varied landscape and the many wild animals that are often seen (especially in the early morning) make this tour a great experience. On the Fürenalp, the best way to reward yourself is with a delicious meal and a ride back down to the valley on the cable car.
