Distance: 4 km, Elevation gain: 600 meters. The AllTrails version of the hike goes in the reverse direction. It goes from Berglodge Ristis, downhill into the town of Engelberg. There is a gondola you can take up to Berglodge Ristis. Guests of Berglodge Ristis get a free or discounted trip up the gondola. If you want to hike up, but without your pack, you can have the gondola take your pack up to Berglodge Ristis. The hike from Hotel Belmont to Berglodge Ristis is not very far. There are many things to do in Engelberg, and in the mountains above the town, so you might want to plan some other activities for the day.
