To return to Engstlenalp either reverse your outward route (2hrs), or head south from the lake at Melchsee and climb up to Balmeregghorn (2255m) following the line of a cableway. Once on the ridge between the Gental and Melchsee bear left and follow the ridgepath to Tannensee, where you can re-join the outward route back to Engstlenalp.

Other routes from Engstlenalp

 One of the classic walks from here is along the path to the Joch Pass (2207m) in about 1hr 10mins. It is a busy path and somewhat devalued by the close proximity of the chairlift. That being said, it is still a fine walk, with the possibility of extending it all the way to Engelberg – a walk of about 4hrs from Engstlenalp.

 Another good route, somewhat strenuous but rewarding, is that which crosses the ridge of the Tällistock – the mountain wall dividing the Gental from the Gadmental – and descends to the village of Gadmen on the far side. This is a walk of a little over 5hrs, with the option of breaking it with an overnight stay in the Tälli Hut.
