Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Some areas may open later or close sooner that advertised.

Cooling conditions open up the weekend, bringing with it overcast conditions and snowfall to many areas especially in the east. The freezing line drops off from 2,000m and continues to fall over Saturday, and continues to drop in easterly reaches. Snowfall will total up to two feet in the southeast, where a nordstau over Austria spills over into the Grisons – a foot will fall on Saturday along, with another 20cm and change falling over Sunday and Monday. Further west, this will be reduced to around 10cm on Saturday along.
High pressure returns across the region as the new week begins, bringing fine, dry and bright conditions for many. The freezing line returns to its nightly freeze-thaw dance, dropping off to below 1,500m but rising to 2,500m in the midday sun.
