With its wide meadowlands, breathtaking panoramic views and its long established "mountain traditions", Engstligenalp has won a place in the 1996 Swiss Cultural Survey as a site of national significance. The 2000m high plateau serves as a starting point for many walking trails and mountain tours. A flat, uninterrupted circular trail (wheelchair- and pushchair-friendly) begins conveniently close the mountain station. It leads across the high plateau, past chattering mountain streams, grazing cows and homely mountain huts back to the starting point.

The energy location
" Surrounded by towering rock faces, you feel very small by the thunderous waterfall. The air is so saturated with water that the transition from water to air literally is a fluid one. The power released by the waterfall makes this place a veritable energy bath. Benches, meadow areas and boulders beckon you to stay a while.
