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.

I never get tired of the downhill biking<br />
on Brunni. Nice trails, cows and a magic<br />
view in a perfect combination. In winter<br />
I ride Galtiberg as often as I can. A<br />
smaller darling of mine is the “Alaska<br />
Face” in the Middle Züls. Short and fun<br />
run. A secret? Hike or bike the Surenen<br />
Pass.<br />
I love to paraglide. It’s my summer<br />
passion. The best is to start on Fürenalp<br />
and then paraglide home.<br />

My summer favourite is to walk up to<br />
Gross Titlis and speedfly all the way<br />
down to the village. In winter I recommend<br />
everyone to ski Galtiberg, but<br />
take a brake afterwards and have a beer<br />
and/or coffee at Restaurant Wasserfall.<br />
Local secret? My pillow lines. And yes,<br />
they’re a secret. Ha ha.<br />
Since I work in the ski patrol, I get to<br />
wake up the people of Engelberg with<br />
the avalanche control bombing in the<br />
mornings. It’s a sounds that says “it’s<br />
powder today”. A happy sound. In<br />
summer I bike every day, and the après<br />
bike beer tastes best after pedalling up<br />
to Brunnihütte.<br />
