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.

SPORTING PARK<br />
After an invigorating day on the slopes, your legs might suffer from “hurts so good syndrome”<br />
Sometimes, performing a different activity works better than simply resting. We recommend a<br />
visit to Engelberg’s activity center, called the Sporting Park. Step through its doors, and you’ll<br />
discover diversions such as ice-skating, curling, climbing, gym, tennis and badminton. If you’d<br />
rather be outside, the cross-country trails run next to the Sporting Park. No gear? No problem.<br />
The sporting park rents equipment. Stretch your legs at the end of the day, and you’ll be ready to<br />
return to the mountain the next morning.<br />
LUCERNE<br />
A one-hour train ride from Engelberg delivers you to Lucerne, where you can take a relaxing stroll<br />
through the streets of Old Town. Home to Europe’s oldest covered wooden bridge, Lucerne is also<br />
known for its lovely old houses, and the Läderach chocolate shop.<br />
TAKE A SWIM<br />
If you feel like taking a swim, the pool at Hotel Waldegg’s spa has the best view. If size matters,<br />
Eienwäldli is the biggest one. Lap swimmers will enjoy the 25-meter pool at Schwimmbad. If you<br />
want to go big, you can take the one-hour-drive to Alpamare – the biggest covered water park in<br />
Europe. Fun? Fun!<br />
VISIT THE NEIGHBORING RESORTS<br />
Engelberg is our favorite, and will always be. But if the mountain is closed for some reason, or<br />
if you want to try something else, there are several great ski resorts withing a 100 km radius.<br />
Andermatt, Mürren, Airolo, Grindelwald and Wengen are some of them.<br />
THE MONASTERY<br />
The monastery was founded in 1120 by Konrad von Sellenbüren, in case you were wondering<br />
where our restaurant got its name. Take a seat and enjoy the tranquil silence. After satisfying your<br />
spiritual needs, take a walk past the cheese factory and treat yourself to a local delicacy. Guided<br />
tours available.<br />
