Accommodation Engelberg

Engelberg has a great selection of 3-4 star hotels, apartments in the centre of the town and even an igloo village. Most are within walking distance to the Titlis lifts or a short bud ride to the gondola station.

Skiing & Boarding

Engelberg is one of the top powder & freeride destinations in the world. Most of Engelberg's runs are above 1800 metres and best suited to intermediate skiers and snowboarders, with some terrain lower down for beginners. However, Engelberg has deliberately left much of its terrain un-pisted, making the resort especially popular with powder skiers and snowboarders. Much of the off-piste is easily accessible and perfect for confident intermediates, while for advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders there are cliffs, couloirs and genuinely extreme terrain.

Activities

There is a lot to do here for the non-skier as well! From the Titlis Cliff Walk 3,041m above sea level, night sledding on a 3.5km toboggan, igloo on ice to snow mobiling.
