The Jochpass-Engstlenalp route is comfortably laid out with one meter of width. Nevertheless, some bike-technical challenges are waiting for you. The trail head is accessible with the Jochpass chairlift, part of the Engelberg-Titlis ski area and the Engstlen chairlift could be used to take the rider back to the Jochpass.

      Unfortunately they’ve rebuilt the trail in to a flow trail with little not a single rock on it. That’s all for me with Engelberg. It was an awesome single track that you can lap on and on with the lift. Now a red trail anymore. RIP to the awesome trail it once was

      Der Trail beginnt sehr flowig und wird dann immer technischer. Alles gut rollbar, zwischendurch ein paar kleine Steinfelder, aber für fortgeschrittene Fahrer kein Problem. Der Trail ist kurz und macht sehr viel Fun!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
