Engelberg - welcome to heaven, welcome to the summer and winter holiday paradise at 1050 metres above sea level. The village radiates the special charm of the Benedictine monastery, the wonderfully fresh countryside and an impressive mountain panorama. Cable cars make off with you in all directions, while good restaurants, mountain huts and hotels invite you to linger.

There is no limit to the number of sports on offer in Engelberg, and a varied wellness programme provides the relaxation after the adrenalin kick. Submerge in Engelberg - either indoors or out - and soak up new energy.

Relaxed and natural with lush green meadows, white snow, grey rocks, red peaks and steel-blue mountain lakes. 360 kilometres of hiking paths and lots of breezy overhead railways - ranging from simple drags to the Rotair cableway - all tempting you to explore the valley again and again. A whole range of activities from abseiling to wood-carving promise an exciting holiday experience.
