The Route Description

This place is idyllic and is situated on the Bannalp, which is in a side valley of the Engelberg valley, this is a perfect location for hikers, family outings and leaving behind the frenetic city life. Located at 1586 Meters, this is a paradise for nature lovers and those who love a quiet holiday. The mountain lake is easily accessible by aerial cableway from Fellboden. When you visit the area, you will be treated with well knitted and well-maintained footpaths pass which pass directly through the amazing magnificent, rare alpine flora to numerous destinations. There are two gondola options to reach Bannalpsee, Fell – Chrüzhütte Bannalp route which operates every 30 minutes and is open in winters as well. The other is the Bannalpsee which takes only 8 minutes but is open only in summers. Reach the place using the road with some picturesque views from Luzern or make use of the brilliant Swiss public transport system, which would take slightly longer. The hike around the lake is a great thing to do as it’s a short 15 min walk from Chrüzhütte down to the lake however be careful as the trail is a little narrow and slightly rocky at places. Sit on the mountain side or near the lake and set up day camp or just sit for a picnic lunch to absorb the beauty. You would not be able to leave the place without taking innumerable pictures.
