Ridge hiking Arvigrat, stage 2: Alp Laucheren - Engelberg in the Uri Alps

Early risers are rewarded with a wonderful sunrise: after the overnight stay in a tent on Alp Laucheren, coffee tastes twice as good. After a short (re-)ascent to the ridge, the path offers wonderfully beautiful spots that invite you to rest again right away – not that one really needs one, but the views in all directions and the llamas against the mountain panorama of the Bernese Oberland should be granted a few minutes. Likewise, the colorful flower meadows. They still exist, the intact mountain meadow herb world! Today it mainly goes downhill, and at some point maybe your thighs will need a break. The closer you get to the valley, the fewer flowers and the more cows there are. Both together – flower and cow – produce excellent milk, and from that, the mountain farmers make excellent cheese. Depending on the route chosen, you may or certainly come past a sales point for such alpine cheese. An ideal souvenir from the mountain!
