Walk-in
From the valley station of the Fürenalpbahn, you follow the road heading towards Herrenrüti. After around 1,140 metres, turn left at the signpost (Fürenwand via ferrata). Follow the path with the blue-white-blue markers in a number of zig-zags to the start point, at the foot of the mighty Fürenhochflue (sign at 1,240 metres).

Fürenwand via ferrata
The first section uses wire ropes, keeping to the right beneath a steep corner. There are further steep climbs over a smooth rock ridge to keep the nerves tingling. The view down below becomes ever more impressive, and walkers on the Herrenrüti smaller and smaller. After the 250-metre high first rock wall, you reach the"Jägerband-", an outcrop of grass and trees visible from far below. Using the wire ropes, you reach the upper section of the wall. Emerging from the Fürenwand across the iron rope ladder is a final test of resolve and effort. The route then leads via the marked route to the Bergrestaurant Fürenalp.

Descent
Via the Engelberg-Fürenalp cable-car. Various marked mountain paths lead via Äbnet, Stäuber-Stäfeli-Alpenrösli or Dagenstal back down to the Fürenalpbahn valley station.
