Directions

The Trübsee Smuggler’s Trail is a fun, interactive family hike near Lake Trübsee on Mount Titlis, designed to turn a simple walk into an adventure game. To get here, ride the Titles XPress from Engelberg.

Kids follow a themed route through alpine scenery, solving clues and completing small challenges along the way — all while learning about the history of smugglers and traders who once crossed these mountain paths. The trail is easy, mostly flat, and ideal for younger children who might normally struggle to stay motivated on a hike.

Hike: easy • 1h30 loop • 3.3 km

Set right beside the lake, it’s easy to combine with:

  • 🛝 Playground time

  • 🛶 Rowing boats

  • 🥪 A lakeside picnic
