Engelberg Ski Holidays

Engelberg ski resort has varied skiing making it an excellent choice good for skiers of all abilities. The most impressive ski area is the snow-sure Titlis glacier zone, which is served by the Rotair, one of the world’s few 360-degree revolving cable cars, that rises up to a remarkable 3,020m. The other main ski area is the Brunni sector, which rises up to 2,040m and is well suited to intermediates. In total, Engelberg ski resort has 89km of pistes and 26 lifts; more than enough to keep decent skiers entertained for a long weekend skiing.

The Jochpass trails will provide excellent pisted routes for boarders looking to practice their carving on wide open runs. Approximately 30% of the slopes are said to be easy terrain, which will suit beginner boarders looking for some flatter paths on the Brunni side of the valley. Those who are more advanced will love the steep descents of the Laub area and the snow park in the Jochpass area.

Choose between a wide selection of mountain restaurants, ranging from large self-service facilities to fine dining options offering table service and local specialities. Down in the town, there are around 55 establishments offering an international mix of cuisine. The Yucatan is a lively Tex-Mex restaurant with great happy hour deals, or alternatively opt for the magical ‘Candlelight Dinner’, where you take cable cars up 10,000 feet to enjoy an extensive Fondue Chinoise surrounded by hundreds of candles at the top of the mountain.

Engelberg ski resort is a good choice of destination for non-skiers. The bustling town homes a great selection of bars and cafes, where you can enjoy trying some local cuisine. There are plenty of cleared paths for walkers, many of them leading to mountain restaurants on the sunnier Brunni side, as well as several on the lower slopes of the Titlis sector. The train journey to Lucerne is only one hour long and with an hourly train service it makes an ideal day-trip destination.
