Although many are designed for advanced skiers there are some intermediate slopes for the less experienced, and plenty of facilities for snowboarders.

Engelberg holiday homes are not just about skiing

You don’t, however, have to be hurtling down the slopes to get the best out of a holiday home in Engelberg. There are many more relaxed pleasures like a sleigh ride through the snow followed by a sauna and massage in the resort’s spas, or a meal out in one of the mountain restaurants with their amazing views of snow-topped summits. In the summer there is mountain biking, climbing and some of the best hiking in the Alps thanks to the cable cars that provide access to the high valleys and slopes. Families have a huge choice of activities such as riding ponies, swimming in the town’s pools and exploring the shores of nearby Lake Lucerne. The Benedictine Monastery is a fascinating place to visit, not just for its history but for it having the largest pipe organ in the county.
