Switzerland’s largest plateau is a summer paradise for some, the perfect hiking destination for others, and for many, simply a place of spiritual renewal. But the Engstligenalp isn’t just impressive because of the Engstligen Falls, where the water roars and foams as it plunges 600 meters down two cascades. You’ll also get a real taste of alpine life in the meadows with cows grazing freely. Whether you’re looking for relaxation in the mountains or adventure on the plateau—nature experiences are guaranteed on the Engstligenalp!
