More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the wooden platform at Brunni with the lake at your feet and the Engelberg valley unfolding beneath — a patchwork of dairy pastures, stone chalets and razor-edged peaks. The wind takes hold; for a heartbeat it is the mountain that decides your direction, then the pilot steers and the valley opens like a map. The flight itself stretches 15–30 minutes depending on thermals and time of day, enough to float over the trainline and village, edge along forest rims and look up at Titlis’s permanent snowfields.
