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.

the cheese at our breakfast comes<br />
from, take the one going to the Stäfeli<br />
Farm.<br />
Those who prefer tours and<br />
single tracks will find multiple hiking<br />
trails that are also great for biking.<br />
Bike up, or take the lift and save your<br />
energy for the downhill ride.<br />
Via Ferrata suits those who yearn<br />
to explore the rock-climbing experience,<br />
but are new to the sport. A<br />
series of fixed ladders, bridges and<br />
stemples provide a safe initiation into<br />
the world of rock climbing, but you<br />
will need the proper equipment. Hire<br />
a mountain guide for your first day on<br />
the rocks. It’s worth it.<br />
Engelberg’s summer delights extend<br />
beyond the mountains. Other<br />
activities include indoor and outdoor<br />
swimming, bungy jumping,<br />
white water rafting, canyoning, golf,<br />
paragliding and more.<br />
If you need a city fix, a one-hour train<br />
ride brings you to Lucerne and two<br />
hours delivers you to Zurich.<br />
No matter what activity you want to<br />
do during your stay in Engelberg, our<br />
staff can share their favourite places,<br />
and offer insider tips and tricks about<br />
where to go and how to get there.<br />
