About Engelberg

Engelberg is a traditional Swiss mountain village beneath the Titlis glacier in the Obwalden canton, its 3,028m peak cable car offering year-round skiing and one of the highest revolving gondolas in the world. Despite relatively modest piste extent at 82km, the resort's vertical drop of over 2,000m, dramatic glacier terrain, and direct train connection from Lucerne make it one of the most rewarding and accessible ski destinations in central Switzerland.
