Hello Ski Lodge Friends! We hope this finds you wrapped in the cozy embrace of winter. If not, it’s probably time to plan your trip to Engelberg. Here’s the scoop on what’s been happening in Engelberg over the past week – a symphony of weather conditions that left us all grinning from ear to ear!
Engelberg has treated us to a rollercoaster of weather experiences lately- from sunshine to snowstorms, we’ve seen it all. We’ve had about 70cms of new snowfall over the past week, and it’s still coming as we write! The Laubersgrat chairlift opened for skiing a week ago and thi weekend it was wy more filled in, the perfect way to ease us back into ski season. Titlis is hopeful that the ski slopes on the glacier will be open by this Saturday, December 2nd. We’ll meet you in the bar for aprés.
Getting to Ski Lodge Engelberg
Now we know that we’ve enticed you to start making your ski trip plans to Engelberg. Wondering how to get here? Here’s the rundown.
Traveling by Train:
The rumors are true…the trains in Switzerland run like clockwork. Trust us, it’s the ultimate combo of convenience and picturesque views. Here’s how you can make your way to Ski Lodge Engelberg by train.
From Zurich Airport, you have a couple of train route options. We highly recommend using the SBB app to plan your trip and buy your tickets. One route takes you through Zurich Hauptbahnhof (fancy word for “main train station”), and the other goes straight to Luzern (Lucerne).
If you go the Zurich HB way, look out for trains headed towards Luzern and jump on board. It will be about an hour of pure scenic bliss.
At Luzern, switch trains and get on the one bound for Engelberg. This part of the journey takes around 45 minutes, and believe us, you won’t be able to take your eyes off those awe-inspiring mountain vistas!
As you arrive at Engelberg Station, Ski Lodge Engelberg is right there, giving you that warm fuzzy feeling of being right where you belong.

Driving Yourself:
For all you independent souls out there who love the open road, driving to Ski Lodge Engelberg is simple. From Zurich, keep your eyes peeled for signs leading you to Luzern. It’ll be about an hour’s drive of stunning scenery.
Once you’re in Luzern, just keep following the signs pointing you towards Engelberg. It’ll be 30 minutes of jaw-dropping mountain views that will have you saying, “This is why I came here!”
We like to think that the journey is just the start of the adventure. Whether you ride the train, hop on a lodge transfer, or take on the open road, we will be ready to welcome you.

Hard Facts
The slopes on the glacier will be open from Saturday, 25 November 2023 at the earliest.
Snow depth Mountain (slope, 3020m): 91 cm
Snow Condition: Powder
Latest snowfall: 28.11.23
Danger level “considerable” (3+) in all aspects above 2000m. Other slopes about one danger level less.
New snow
The large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs are prone to triggering. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches. The avalanche danger will increase but remain within the current danger level. More frequent natural avalanches are to be expected. Avalanches can reach large size. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution. The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
