A weekend around Lake Trübsee
Experience
… Many years ago, Engelbert and his mule Schmuggli used to smuggle goods from Engelberg over the Joch Pass to Engstlenalp. Even today, a few of his treasures are still hidden around Lake Trübsee. Using the Smuggler's Map, children must search for various items at six stations around the lake. At the end of the trail, the new Smuggler's Playground and the muleteer's camp invite visitors to enjoy a picnic. With the correct answer, every child receives a gift at the valley station of the mountain railways. The Smugglers’ Trail and the playground will be opened on 21 July with a big celebration.
The Smugglers’ Map for the adventure trail is available at the valley station or at the Trübsee station.

… Even James Bond started small! At Titlis Adventure Park , the superheroes of tomorrow hone their skills on the slackline and trampoline, or try their hand at the Bag Jump – a leap from a height of three, four or six metres onto a large cushion.
The park, located next to the Berghotel Trübsee, is open daily from 11am to 5pm between June and October, weather permitting.

Enjoy
… «Magnificent mountains, sun-drenched heights, we are mountain wanderers, yes, we are!» This song will spring to mind as you sit on the spacious terrace of the Berghotel Trübsee . The children swing their way to happiness in the playground and then enjoy a grilled sausage or a delicious ice cream. The Berghotel Trübsee can be reached in ten minutes by gondola from Engelberg. Those who want to earn their ice cream can also hike up or down. Anyone who's tired from all that smuggling can spend the night in comfort in a family room.

… Those who are drawn to the heights can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the glacier from the newly renovated Titlis Panorama Restaurant, situated at 3,020 metres above sea level. And since the way to the heart isn't always through the stomach, the restaurant's Mövenpick Ice Cream Bar serves the finest ice cream. The journey to the Titlis takes around 30 minutes from Engelberg on the Titlis Xpress gondola lift, stopping at Trübsee, to the Stand station. From there, the journey continues on the Titlis Rotair cable car to the mountain station.

The Älplerseil, a small cable car just 150 metres from the restaurant, takes you up to Trübsee. In winter, the restaurant is situated right next to the ski slope.
