Climbing
If you are a climber, then the words >hanging bridges> or >hunter’s leg> do mean something to you and you are not afraid of a 400 ft (600 m) drop. Engelberg has become the via ferrata eldorado of Switzerland. Experience the various routes and an adrenalin kick is guaranteed.
Golf
Golf is also played in Engelberg. Swing your clubs on this Par 71 golf course, where 18 holes must be conquered on 3.4 miles (5.5 km).
Nordic Walking
Engelberg is also one of the resorts where a special walking trail is marked (12.4 miles /20 km). Why not give this new sport a try: it is very healthy for the muscles, the heart and circulation and can be done by old and young.

If you left your bike at home, no problem at all: just rent one and ride on 14 routes (from easy till demanding). Make sure to stop now and then to take a break at a mountain hut or restaurant and taste the local specialties.
