Engelberg

With incredible off piste terrain, an enviable snow record and massive vertical, it’s no wonder that Ski Club Freshtracks have seven weeks of holidays here each year.

Engelberg may not have the extensive slope mileage of some larger resorts, but what it lacks in quantity, it more than makes up for in quality.

The lift-served off piste potential is vast, especially with the world renowned Laub freeride route, and its position right on the northern edge of the Alps means it frequently gets hammered during snowstorms. And, although the biggest attraction is the off piste, the snowsure pistes also serve up some great terrain for beginner or intermediate skiers. The resort is more of a small town and, as a result there, is good variety when it comes to accommodation. Its grand Victorian hotels have been joined by chalet-style buildings, concrete blocks and new apartment buildings right next to the gondola.

By far the best way to make the most of Engelberg’s incredible terrain is with Ski Club Freshtracks. There are seven off piste holidays heading out to the resort this winter, between January and March.

Pros and cons

Fantastic snow record
Epic off piste runs
Huge vertical and long runs

Most slopes above trees so skiers may feel exposed in bad weather
Limited pistes for intermediates
Accommodation mostly a bus ride from the main lifts

On the Slopes

The main ski area on the Titlis mountain is a paradise for off piste skiers. Classic descents including the Laub and Galtiberg consistently rank amongst the world’s top off piste runs, but a guide is highly recommended. There are also decent beginner facilities above Gerschinalp, but intermediates will find the extent of the pistes limited.

In the Resort

The resort is more of a town than a village so there are great amenities and the scenery is spectacular as it is surrounded by towering peaks. It is generally a relaxed and quiet resort – most people come here for the serious skiing and not the partying. Off the slopes there is a lot to do, including a well-maintained and popular network of cross country trails.

For Families

Although the beginner zones are located up the hill, they are good and sunny – ideal for younger children. As a quiet resort this is a good option and the Swiss ski school has a good reputation, meaning you can head off to explore the off piste whilst your children learn.

For Après

This is not a real après resort, but the Chalet bar at the base of the Titlis Express gondola has a popular happy hour and is the place to go once the lifts close. In town, a lot of the action is based in hotel bars, but Yucatan and the Hoheneck bar are both popular.

Getting to Engelberg

Engelberg is very accessible and is close to Zürich airport. The drive takes under an hour and a half, whilst the train is only a little longer – it takes about two hours. The drive from Basel is a little longer but the train journey is just as quick as from Zürich.

Zürich airport: 1.5 hours (driving) or 2 hours (by train)
Basel airport: 2 hours (driving and by train)
Calais: approximately 10 hours driving (506 miles)

Lift Pass Prices

Updated for 2024/25

Day passes are available for Engelberg’s individual mountains. The prices listed below are whole area passes that allow for skiing across the Engelberg area.

Engelberg operates a dynamic pricing system, with different days priced differently depending on popularity – this means each day of your six day lift pass might cost you a different amount when broken down into individual days! Unlike some other resorts, this dynamic pricing is fixed in advance and won’t fluctuate based on demand. The prices listed below show the minimum and maximum cost you may be expected to pay throughout the season.

Snow Overview

Switzerland

Updated 02/05

Warm weather opens the weekend across Switzerland, with the freezing line sitting high at close to or above 4,000m throughout. Things change as the weekend continues, with temperatures cooling as the freezing line comes down to as low as 1,500m.

Cloud cover dominates, and with it precipitation; this will fall as rain initially, but will turn to snow as temperatures fall. Around 12cm will fall in steady flurries throughout the weekend and into the new week, falling almost entirely on higher ground as the freezing line remains above 2,000m during this period.

High pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions especially across the west of the region.

Thus concludes our snow overviews for this season. Thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
