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.

Mountain man<br />
Local mountain guide Thomas Odermatt is climbing<br />
7000-meter peaks in South America in summertime, but<br />
it’s the winters in Engelberg he enjoys the most. We asked<br />
him about the basics when it comes to hiring a guide.<br />
Why should you rent a mountain guide?<br />
To stay safe and find the best runs on the<br />
mountain, of course, and to find the best<br />
skiing every different day, depending on<br />
conditions. If freeriding is the best option,<br />
we do that. If ski touring is better, we go<br />
for a hike. We also offer the access to try<br />
something different, which might be hard<br />
to find without a mountain guide.<br />
How does it work?<br />
Just pay us a visit in the guide office, and<br />
we talk about what you want to do, so that<br />
we can plan the best day for your desire. If<br />
you have any questions in advance, send a<br />
mail to info@engelbergmountainguide.ch.<br />
Which is your favorite run in Engelberg?<br />
Galtiberg. But I really appreciate the<br />
Brunni side too. I think it’s underrated.<br />
Are there any special places you never<br />
show your guests?<br />
No, actually not. I take my guests everywhere.<br />
It only depends on the level of their<br />
skiing. But I tell them not to tell the others<br />
where we have been. Ha ha.<br />
