This is a location filled with energy and activity, and is a fantastic place to come to stretch your legs and try some mountain hiking. Visitors can saunter across the exciting mountain paths, or make the full ascent up the mountain, which takes around four hours. Views over the Engelberg Valley and Obwalden Canton are stunning from this vantage point. Visitors need not worry about their safety, as the 14 men and two women team of Stanserhorn Rangers are always on duty. These experienced and brave mountain experts are on hand to either give advice or tell guests where an interesting animal encounter can be had. Guests can even book ahead of time and have a ranger accompany them on a guided walk at no cost. These rangers truly love the mountain they work on, and want to see others getting the same pleasure from it.
 
For the more adventurous and courageous, you can use the mountain as the setting for an adrenaline filled aerial encounter, with paragliding and delta gliding available here. Close to the eastern side of the restaurant (15 minute walk), visitors can find the starting point  for these exciting hobbies, which will give guests an opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the surrounding landscapes.
 
The mountain can also be a wonderfully peaceful place too, with several activities catering for the more relaxed visitor. The restaurant features a stunning terrace where visitors can take a seat, and take in the brilliant scenery, or enjoy a drink. The mountain can be a remarkably quiet and peaceful place to visit, and being able to get up and away from the congestion of everyday life and clear your head is always a great plan.
