Freetouring Haldigrat | Engelberg Valley

A small but fine railway with plenty of options and little ascent!

Technics

To the dates and registration

Sunday is getting better and better, with fresh snow on Saturday and more and more clearing on Sunday. We take advantage of this to spend another great day in the snow! We use the small infrastructure of the Haldigrat to gain height and make a first great descent. With an ascent we reach great ski touring terrain off the beaten track and climb one of the surrounding peaks. It snows up to 1200 metres and the cable car takes us up to just under 2000 metres. The most snow is forecast in the Engelberg Valley. Another wintry day with snow-covered forests and beautiful snow awaits us - together we enjoy a marvellous day in the mountains! We make around 800 metres of ascent and 1500 metres of descent.
