At 11:36 a.m., the cheerful Children’s Festival journey begins in Lucerne. Globi himself will welcome you right on the platform – so the adventure starts even before departure! Together, we travel on the historic Engelberg train to Engelberg, accompanied by games, fun and lots of good spirits.
During the journey, excitement is guaranteed: we will solve the Globi riddle together. Those who pay close attention and combine the clues correctly will be rewarded with a wonderful surprise in Engelberg, where the prize can be collected. This turns the train ride into a truly interactive experience for young and old Globi fans alike.
Once you arrive, the adventure continues straight away: onward travel to the colourful Globi and Schmuggli Children Festival in Engelberg, where games, entertainment and a festive atmosphere await the whole family.
Tip: The Globi journey can also be enjoyed in the opposite direction in the late afternoon – perfect for those who would like to enjoy the festival first and then travel back with Globi in a relaxed way.
