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.

ditions often surprise and delight the unsuspecting<br />
skier. The intermediate run provides a<br />
pleasant descent, but check the temperatures<br />
on the south-facing side of the hike. Warmer<br />
temperatures can create a slushy, potentially<br />
dangerous, climb. Our advice for this run is to<br />
ski all the way to Rossboden Hütte (just make<br />
sure this charming little restaurant is open) and<br />
treat yourself with a lunch in the sun. Their<br />
“Huiswurst” is really good.<br />
- A small tour from the top of the resort leads<br />
to the “real” Titlis apex. Pause for a moment,<br />
and feast your eyes on an amazing panorama.<br />
Then, enjoy a short but sweet run back into<br />
the ski area. Don’t, however, let it’s sweetness<br />
distract you from potential hazards. This is<br />
glacier skiing above the resort, so make sure<br />
it’s safe conditions, both for yourself and the<br />
people below you.<br />
- Are you an experienced skier craving the<br />
adventure of a lifetime? Contact the guide<br />
agency and set up a Titlis Round Tour. This<br />
full-day mission rewards participants with long,<br />
spectacular runs in awe-inspiring surroundings.<br />
Not sure if ski touring is for you? Rent the equipment,<br />
hire a guide and try it for an afternoon.<br />
Most likely you’ll like it, and the worst case<br />
scenario is that you get a workout that will make<br />
the après beer taste even better. Not a bad deal.<br />
