About Engelberg

The day rate is dynamic or not published, so the one shown is an estimate. The breakdown of runs is given as a percentage of the kilometres for each difficulty level. Engelberg, a monastic village south of Lucerne, is dominated by the Titlis and its glacier. The Rotair cable car, whose cabin revolves as it climbs, takes you to the summit, from where the descent offers over 2,000 m of vertical drop. The Titlis is also a renowned off-piste destination.

✍️ Our take on Engelberg

A resort on a human scale, Engelberg prioritises the quality of its welcome and its closeness over impressive figures. Its 70 km of runs suit a 3 to 4 day stay perfectly, especially for families or skiers who don't need to keep changing terrain. Engelberg has kept the authentic identity of a mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoilt landscapes and a warm atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. On snow reliability, Engelberg is in a strong position with its summit at 3,020 m: even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,003 m is also well placed to offer comfortable conditions from mid-December. A stay in Engelberg is clearly expensive: a 90€ day pass, on top of accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It's the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you go. In short: Engelberg keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most types of skier without disappointing.
