Intro

Engelberg and Titlis simply belong together. The Rotair revolving cable car, the cliff walk and the glacier attract visitors to the highest mountain in central Switzerland throughout the year. Engelberg-Titlis is one of the best ski regions in Switzerland thanks to sensational slopes measuring up to 3200 metres.

Engelberg at a glance

This is Engelberg

Engelberg is located in central Switzerland in the canton of Obwalden. The mountain village is a popular with day trippers and holidaymakers with the Titlis and its excellent ski area.

Discover Engelberg

Engelberg is ready to welcome you with a unique natural backdrop, dominated by the Titlis and the local peak, Hahnen. The first thing visitors will notice is the Benedictine monastery, the town’s proudest landmark. The collegiate church and the monastery’s very own show-dairy are worth seeing. In summer, hikers are attracted to the Four Lakes Hike, one of the most beautiful panoramic trails in Switzerland.

Titlis – the iconic mountain icon of Central Switzerland

The Titlis is a source of inspiration all year round with a variety of experiences on offer: You can board the rotating Rotair cable car at the Trübsee middle station, taking you to the summit in just five minutes. You can choose to cross the thrilling Cliff Walk suspension bridge at lofty heights, visit the glacier grotto or sail across the glacier ice in the Ice Flyer chair lift. There’s also a chance to let off steam on futuristic snowmobiles in the SnowXpark.

Snow sports in Engelberg-Titlis

Mount Titlis makes Engelberg one of the most popular winter sports resorts in Switzerland – reachable in just one hour with the Lucerne-Engelberg Express. Thanks to its location, the varied ski area at altitudes of up to 3200 metres has guaranteed snow in abundance. The Rotegg glacier run is challenging and the 12-kilometre descent into the valley feels endless. The Titlis offers plenty of opportunities for freeride fans away from the ski slopes. The toboggan run from Gerschnialp and the Engelberg valley trail for cross-country skiing fans also promise fantastic winter experiences.

Around Engelberg

Not far from Engelberg is Lake Lucerne with its fjord landscape, the Pilatus and Rigi mountain destinations and the city of Lucerne. It takes about an hour to reach idyllic Melchsee-Frutt on the turquoise waters of Lake Brienz or the Gotthard Pass – the connection to the Mediterranean climes of Ticino.

Experience Engelberg for less
