Wintry Gerschnialp

A funicular takes you from Engelberg to the Gerschnialp. Until the Engelberg-Trübsee gondola lift was replaced by the TITLIS Xpress Engelberg-Trübsee in 2015, the Alp was also an intermediate station for the Titlis lift . Since then, there is only a connection to Trübsee and Mount Titlis in winter via the Gerschnialp – Trübsee cable car.

There are two inns on the Gerschnialp ( Ritz , Unter Trübsee , from there the Älplerseil cable car to Trübsee). In winter, three children's lifts are installed and numerous cross-country trails and snowshoe trails have been created. The forest road is used as a toboggan run in winter .

The Zschokke House ( 1262  m above sea level ) of the student body of the University of Basel , named after Friedrich Zschokke , and a contract shooting range are located on the Alp .
