Skiing in Engelberg

Engelberg Bus Station

Engelberg, less than two hours from Zurich in central Switzerland, offers some of the best off-pist skiing in Europe. The ski season runs from December to early May with most crowds during Christmas, New Year and other holidays. The village is charming with beautiful surroundings and an amazing view of the mountains. Engelberg has two sides - Brunni and Titlis - with more than 82 km of ski runs and over 20 lifts. Brunni is often referred to as the sunnier side and suitable for beginners while Titlis has runs for all type of skiers. We stayed at Hotel Bellevue, a two-star hotel with a perfect location opposite the railway station. For the best after-ski, go to Yucatan at Banhhofplatz where you can listen to great live concerts and eat tasty food in their Tex-Mex restaurant.

Michelle and I decided we should get to France, so booked two weeks off work and set off to see as much of the place as we could in our limited time frame.
