Super Freeride day route. Starting point is in Engelberg at the Titlis station, where you first take the gondola up to the Jochpass. Or you can ride up the road yourself. Once at the top, the descent begins on the Hells Bell’s Trail, which belongs to the Engelberg Bike Park and ends at Engstlen. After the first of several descents, head towards Tannalp where the path leads up along a rock wall. In the last few meters, you have to carry your bike because it becomes too rocky to ride, about 10 minutes. At the beginning of Tannalpsee, turn left and soon climb to Erzeggkreuz where the Balmeregg ridge begins. A rideable ridge path that includes some small carrying sections but offers a lot of experience. After the Balmeregg ridge, the final climb to the Alpentower begins. From there, you'll ride diverse trails, gravel roads, paths, and partly roads down through the Haslital to the Brünig Pass. Good for a small coffee break. Fully recharged, you can continue with the descent to Lungern to the church. Be careful not to miss the descent from the road at the right bottom of the wrestling curve, otherwise, you will ride on a heavily trafficked pass road down to Lungern. Once along the Lungerersee, then the last descent leads to Giswil where you can board the train after a cool successful bike day and comfortably travel home or back to Engelberg.

Accessible vacation in Giswil

Giswil is a charming village in the heart of Switzerland and offers a variety of options for an unforgettable, accessible vacation. Whether you are a wheelchair user, suffer from a visual impairment or are simply traveling with your family - there are numerous accessible excursion tips here that will inspire you.

A variety of barrier-free excursion destinations

In Giswil, you can discover some wonderful and easily accessible excursion destinations. One particularly recommended destination is the Upper Black Forest, where there are several hiking trails that are also suitable for wheelchair users. These trails not only offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, but are also designed to be easily accessible. Another highlight is Lake Giswil. The lake has special access points and circular paths that are ideal for people with disabilities as well as families. Here you can take relaxing walks or simply sit on the shore and enjoy the view. For those of you who would like to learn more about the local flora and fauna: The Naturerlebniswelt in Giswil also has a lot to offer! It organizes guided tours through its gardens and the grounds are completely barrier-free. In addition, there are many leisure activities such as boat trips on the lake or guided tours through the picturesque village itself; all of which can be enjoyed without any restrictions.

Experience culture without barriers

Cultural experiences are also very popular when visiting Giswil! The local museum offers interesting insights into the history of the village as well as changing art exhibitions - all accessible for wheelchairs and people with disabilities. If you fancy a little more adventure: in summer there are regular events such as concerts or outdoor festivals - these events often have special areas set up to ensure that everyone can take part! The hospitality of the locals will make your stay even more enjoyable; many restaurants have adapted facilities so that no one is left out!

Travel & accommodation tips

When you visit, make sure you choose suitable accommodation: Many hotels and vacation apartments now offer fully equipped rooms - make sure you find out in advance what specific needs can be met! It's also worth taking a closer look at transportation: In many cases, there are rental car companies whose vehicles have been adapted accordingly so that nothing stands in the way of your adventures! We also recommend using public transport as buses often have low entrances, which makes traveling easier for wheelchair users in particular. With these preparations, you'll soon realize how easy a great day of activities can be! The key to success is to keep an open mind and try new things while being considerate of individual needs within your travel team - often creating unexpected friendships between like-minded people from all walks of life! Whether you are young, old, disabled or healthy, the important thing is to have fun discovering this fascinating region together. So pack your bags and off you go to giswill!
