More about Engelberg
The Resort
The resort is world-renowned as a freeride mecca, boasting an incredibly long season, consistent snowfall, and massive vertical descents. Its iconic 'Big 5' off-piste routes, particularly the legendary Laub, offer easily accessible powder fields that rival the best in the world. For piste skiers, the Titlis side provides sweeping red and blue runs with dramatic glacial backdrops.
Engelberg offers a well-rounded experience beyond extreme skiing. The 'sunny side' of the valley, Brunni, provides a perfect sanctuary for families and beginners with gentle, rolling slopes and excellent kids' facilities. Combined with exceptionally easy train access from Zurich and Lucerne, Engelberg stands out as one of the most accessible and thrilling ski destinations in the Alps.
