Its a great resort for a few days but its not expansive so can get repetitive, unless of course you get fresh powder and like to go off piste - there is a lot of off piste skiing here. Its easy to get to from Zurich, which again lends itself to a short break. That said, its a great place for a beginner to spend a week and get up to speed.

Was a challenging resort with plenty of space for off piste riding and powder days. The staff at the rental shop were kind and helpful same goes for all food places and all staff on the mountain.

Calm beautiful resort, great hiking routes and glacier walkHowever not the best for a beginner skier - there are baby slopes at the bottom but only if it has snowed enough. Then the next option is steep blue runs at the top which can be overwhelming to new riders

Engelberg is a place of its own, small town with a great community of athletes from all over the world. I wouldnt recommend this place for beginners as piste wise, its mainly reds and up. If youre a fan of getting off piste, this is THE place to go, so many safe lines to take and so much fun to be had. Definitely check out the leisure centre in town during your stay as well.

great resort overall with lots of off piste skiing and good powder. Absolutely loved this experience. Great apres ski and options to eat in the resort.

Engelberg is a lovely, sleepy little Swiss monastery village at the end of the railway line. Its a beautiful village to walk around surrounded by impressive peaks. The skiing is a free ride heaven. Loads of epic off piste itineraries that anre easily accessed from the lifts. Itll have your things burning. Luckily there are plenty of places to stop and take refreshment on the way home and in the village.

Although on a map the runs do not look extensive everything between them is some of the best off piste skiing I have done in the alps. Will be retuning next season for more POW!

Engelberg has been an off-piste mecca and hidden gem in Switzerland for many years, more recently discovered by the Scandinavians so for fresh tracks it is a good idea to hire a guide. For intermediate skiers there is limited terrain and better to go to other resorts. There are great learning areas for first steps on snow at Brunni and progressing at Gerschnialp. With the glacier the season is long and the slopes are mainly north facing so snow stays although this can get hard packed so make sure you have good edges and know how to handle the sometimes challenging reds and blacks. The resort is easy to access via train directly from Lucerne with the closest airport Zurich, there are frequent bus shuttles to the main lifts from the town. This has good apres ski in town and varied accommodation. Surprisingly this is very popular with visitors from India as a Bollywood movie was filmed here and if you are a lover of Indian food there is a good restaurant in town. For non skiers there is a sledge run, winter hiking and show shoeing and in summer mountain biking, golf course, rope park and hiking. Overall this resort suits best experts on snow and has a charm that will appeal to non skiers looking for a spectacular authentic mountain experience.

Amazing off piste and beautiful scenery. The access to off piste terrain is incredible and so varied
