Near Titlis
Engelberg Abbey 5.8 km
A Benedictine monastery dedicated to Our Lady of the Angels, standing at the head of the valley in the mountain resort of Engelberg. The village grew up around it and takes its name, angel mountain, from the abbey.
Schöllenen Gorge 18 km
A steep gorge cut by the upper Reuss between Göschenen and Andermatt, the old gateway to the Urseren valley and the Gotthard. The Devil's Bridge spans it, and a large Suvorov memorial is carved into the rock nearby.
Aare Gorge 18 km
A narrow chasm the Aare has cut through a limestone ridge near Meiringen, carved by meltwater as the last Ice Age ended. Walkways run for about 2 kilometres between cliffs up to 50 metres high, and at its tightest the gorge is only a metre wide.
