I stayed in Engelberg with my family one full week in march. All of us enjoyed the place very much. Nice atmosphere in the village with a lot of cosy restaurants and bars. The staff at the tourist center was very helpful and professional. They gave us many tips and unsful information. The skiing area itself is nice and we also enjoyed Mount Brunni, the area for kids.

Engleberg is an easy drive from the Luzern area and is pretty high, so stays open later in the season than many resorts and has good snow.
We are both pretty inexperienced, so were looking for some nice easy runs.
However, the easier runs are lower down and were closed during our stay (early April), so we were limited to the blue runs from the Joch, which you access from the Truebsee Hopper chairlift which carries you horizontally along the lake. You then take another chairlift up to the Joch
The only way down again from the Joch is via a red run, something which my wife found somewhat worrying...
We found the blues to be distinctly challenging for inexperienced skiers with some steep, narrow, tricky bends that we both found very awkward to negotiate. After this, my wife was really concerned about the red to get down again but, surprisingly, I reckon this was easier than the blues and we both ended up enjoying it as, although fairly steep at times, the piste was nice and broad with no nasty surprises.
Mt Titlis is very high and offers year-round skiing at the top, as well as great views. I'm told that one of the runs down from the top is not too difficult but we didn't actually try it.

ENGELBERG

If you can time this mountain within a week of a decent dump and you like looong off piste descents , this place will blow your mind!
The way the upper lifts are laid out make for perfect powder skiing. I never hit it on a day of a storm as it would be too hard to see but if you can catch it a day later(which I have not) it would be a phenom. experience

I have been skiing, hiking and climbing in and around Engelberg for years now and go whenever I have time and am in the general neighborhood meaning anyplace in switzerland. It the bulls eye of Switzerland. You wanna go to St Moritz? Take lots a money and keep you nose above your forehead.

Engelberg is THEE place to go winter and summer and it's the place to bring guests when they are looking for the real alps and the authentic Swiss experience. So you were there on a bad day. boohoo. Hell I was in Alyeska, Alaska the other day and even though a cafe was open they wouldn't serve me because they said it wasn't the season yet.

The staff at Engelberg is overworked and under paid. Did you smile when you asked? Now they probably have their feelings confirmed about Americans. Thanks for ruining it for us. Cheers

Engelberg rocks, great time, great cliffs, very rad mountain. I love how the previous person is your typical American. I don't smoke, and I know how bad european bars can get, but seriously, we're not in LA dude, get to the back of the line deal with it or leave. As far as policy for ski tickets, get real every place is like that, if you don't like it, hike it, earn your turns. So I skied Rainier, who the hell am I gonna get a refund from cause the summit was neg 17 and the winds would blow you over, I don't think NPS is gonna refund that. Just don't listen to the other dude and go have a good time. Cheers.

Drove there from Luzern about 30 minutes by car. Parking was empty, overcast sky. Lift tickets 52Sfr. up to the Stand by about 10 o'clock. After 2 runs lift close due to high winds, I try to ask what the policy for this and they say sorry written in small on the back of the pass no refunds due to weather. Told to go over to the other side and ski on the Joch. On the Joch basicly only one run is open, snowing at the top, rainy on the lake. So at about noon I decide to hit the restaurant at the top for a snack. Restaurant open and smoky, I walk over to the non smoking section. It is close because we don't want to clean too much as it is not so busy today I am told. I asked the lady if she was serious, her reply well it's only smoke then cars should be illigal too. That basicly ended my day at Engelberg, was back in Luzern at about 1 o'clock. And I will not go back ever again. If you sell a Lift pass and know that you will close 60% of the mountain within the next 90 minutes you should tell your customers this before you get them to pay. As to the restaurant non smoking, too lazy to work situtation typical of the swiss. Anyway enough of this place will be going to Saas Fe and St. Moritz this weekend and I am sure that will be more professional.
