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.

ZüLS<br />
Three runs – Small, Middle and Big – divide the Züls area of Engelberg. Start with a warm-up on Small. It’s the<br />
only one where you can do laps using only one lift. When you’re almost at the bottom of the run, traverse back<br />
toward the lift, and look up on the huge cliff wall on your left. Imagine what it would feel like doing a 72-meter<br />
high front flip off the edge. Believe it or not, it’s been done. During après, ask a staff member to show you Oskar<br />
Enander’s award winning photography of American mad man Julian Carr, doing just that front flip.<br />
Middle offers the best cliff-jumping zone on the mountain. This is where the local rippers earn their bragging<br />
rights, as they train for competitions and photo shoots. Don’t feel like cliff jumping? No worries. Middle will also<br />
oblige you with splendid terrain for keeping your skis on the ground.<br />
Like a gentle giant, Big offers the mellowest terrain of the three runs, but it’s not without its challenges. Like many<br />
other runs in Engelberg, Big offers something for every type of skier.<br />
