Ski tours in the Lidernen area

The Bannalper round tour is one of the best tours in the Engelberg valley: 1000 metres ascent and 2400 metres descent, what more could you want? On Saturday, Clint will take you on this tour in his home terrain! Beautiful weather and fresh powder await on Saturday! The tour starts with a cable car ride up to Bannalp, a beautiful ascent to Chaiserstuel. We continue with a long descent into the Grosstal. There are many slopes here and we will choose the best ones. We take the second cable car back up to have more fun with a second ascent and a second descent. The tour ends back at the valley station of the Bannalp cable car.
