SKI LODGE BULLETIN
Ski Lodge Engelberg is a story about two old skiing friends, who finally took the leap of faith and realised an old dream – to open a hotel in the Alps. Niklas and Eric met for the first time in Engelberg in 2002, when they both had long hair, dreamt of becoming professional freeskiers and very few had heard of the little monastery town at the end of the road. After university and ski bumming years, they ended up with long hours behind desks in Stockholm and London, working in finance and advertising.

It seems like you’re not a big fan of sitting still?<br />
Ha ha. I’ve always been moving a lot. From playing in the<br />
snow as a kid, to high school on the cross-country ski<br />
academy and now I’m running around in the Alps, running<br />
a hotel.<br />
You’ve had similar jobs in Sweden. Why did you move to<br />
Switzerland?<br />
For the bigger mountains and amounts of snow. The skiing<br />
in Sweden is nice, but very small compared to the backyard<br />
here. Ski Lodge is also a “product” I really believe in.<br />
That combination together with the rest of the staff, the Ski<br />
Lodge family, made it easy to move here.<br />
What’s your favourite ski run in Engelberg?<br />
Hinterwald.<br />
And your favourite running trail in the summer?<br />
I love to take the lift to Jochpass and run to Melchsee-Frutt<br />
and back. The view up there is amazing, and it feels kind of<br />
funny to actually run to another ski resort and back.<br />
