Engelberg is the leading mountain resort in Central Switzerland. It is perfect for school ski trips, a  small village situated at the end of a valley with a safe pedestrianised precinct. There is plenty to do in the evenings for school skiing groups. It is dominated by a Benedictine Monastery, which was highly-regarded in the Middle Ages for its educational accomplishments. There are still about 30 monks living and working there today.

 

School Skiing in EngelbergSchool Ski Accommodation Situated in Town

Our 2* hotel could not be more centrally located opposite the stunning railway terminus and providing spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

 

Walk to Ski Lifts only 15 Mins or 2 mins by local bus

School ski groups can walk or ride (the bus stops outside the hotel and runs every 5 mins) directly to the ski shop, where skis and boots are stored overnight, in a state of the art boot room. The ski shop is just 2 mins walk from the main gondola lifts.

Highly Professional Equipment for School Ski Groups

As in may of our Swiss resorts the ski shop provides great quality equipment for your school skiing group.

 

All-Day ski instruction with Experienced British Instructors

Maximum time on snow for your school ski group with instructors who deliver excellent progression on Engelberg's extensive range of pistes. Plenty of challenging off piste, runs adjacent to many of the pisted runs, enabling school skiers to experience what many other resorts cannot offer. School ski groups love the challenge of Engelberg!

 

Skiing on Over 80kms of Piste

Titlis, Engelberg's highest peak and glacier park is accessible by a superb revolving cable car. At an altitude of 3020 metres above sea level visitors are treated to a fabulous view of the central Alps. The 12-kilometre-long descent from the Titlis to Engelberg covers a vertical drop of 2000 metres and covers a variety of blacks, reds and blue runs.

 

Several Modern Ski Uplifts Contribute to Very Few Lift Queues

Some superb covered 6 man chairs deliver great uplift speeds and maximum time on snow for your school skiing students with the equivalent rapid teaching progression.

In addition the sports centre provide a unique evening of Funparcours, which is a 5 game competition for your school ski group, of which one game comprises of hammering nails into wood, which is a local traditional pastime.
