Seven days hiking the Via Alpina | Part 1
And so it begins: our seven-day trek along Switzerland's Via Alpina trail between Engelberg and Griesalp. Joined by my close friend Oda, we spent the first few days hiking between lakes and sleeping in the presence of glaciers.
This summer, I start my great adventure across Switzerland: hiking the Via Alpina green trail. The fourth stage of the Via Alpina hike is a long stretch from Altdorf to Engelberg. Our path takes us 99km from Obwalden through the Bernese Alps to walk alongside rivers, glaciers, and Switzerland's tourist attractions.
