Tannensee

Highlight • Lake

The Tannensee is a true gem. Depending on the weather, you get a wild highland feeling or a liberating bathing feeling in a Swiss mountain lake. A little less touristy than the Melchsee.

Beautifully situated mountain lake surrounded by a wonderful mountain panorama... either easily accessible from Melchsee-Frutt or via the more challenging 4-lake hike from Engelberg

Melchsee-Frutt

Highlight • Lake

Hiking, fishing, skiing, just enjoying the view and the beauty of the mountains. Everything is possible on the shore of this dream lake.

The cable car takes exhausted hikers comfortably down into the valley to Stöckalp, the valley station is served by the post bus.
