Freshtracks holiday
Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
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.

Resort Activities
AdvancedPros 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.
