The piste map can be viewed by clicking HERE

Skiing:

Divided into 3 areas, there difficult blacks and reds from the top station with a 12kms descent to the village, great off-piste opportunities, especially the Laube, wide cruising reds and blues for intermediates and beginners alike and plenty of activities for boarders of all persuasions

Night Life:

Aprés-ski is excellent here, ranging from informal and very good value with a traffic free village square boasting unpretentious and friendly restaurants to the top and 4 star hotels and restaurants.

Aprés-ski ranges from quiet informal cafes to lively bars with music and rock bands. There are bars for every taste, and night clubs with dancing until dawn, if you have the energy! Night clubs are generally free entry and they and the main bars offer a number of theme nights as well.

Drinks prices are very good value for a top ski resort (from only CHF5 - approx £3 - for a pint) and Engelberg's mountain restaurants are reasonably priced and with excellent food. Restaurants vary from traditional pizzas from about £6, to American, Mexican, Chinese - in fact cuisine from every country in the world - and of course the Swiss specialities. All food is of a very high quality.
