Engelberg

Formerly a quiet monastery village, Engelberg became a modern winter sports centre with international guests. If you go skiing in Engelberg, you will find a variety of different slopes between Brunni and Jochpass. The old mountain village is the largest family winter sports resort in Central Switzerland. Some 2,000 m in altitude and 12 km on foot separate the peak of the Titlis from the valley below. Many lifts serve the snowy pistes, offering numerous descents of varying difficulty for skiers, snowboarders and telemarkers. The ski resort Engelberg also includes a terrain park with halfpipe.
