b>Schneesichere Winterferien in Engelberg 8,5 Millionen Franken haben die Bergbahnen Titlis Rotair in den letzten zwei Jahren in neue Beschneiungsanlagen investiert. Damit sind nun 41 km Skipisten schneesicher. Eine der längsten Abfahrten im Alpenraum ist die Strecke vom Titlis nach Engelberg. Die 12 Kilometer lange Abfahrt ist somit erstmals auf der ganzen Länge schneesicher. www.titlis.ch |

Cross-country skiing / winter hiking |
|
| Cross country comments | Talloipe Engelberg Variantenreiche Loipe mit diversen Routen im Engelberger Tal, der kurze intensive Anstieg bis zur Herrenrüti wird mit einem schönen Ausblick auf das Dorf belohnt. Weite schnelle Abschnitte zum skaten, aber auch anspruchsvolle Strecken, wo Technik und Kondition gefordert werden, bieten sich auf der 25 km langen Loipe sowohl dem klassischen Langläufer als auch dem Skater. Loipe Gerschnialp-Untertrübsee Die rund 10 km lange Loipe erstreckt sich über die gesamte Fläche von Gerschnialp nach Untertrübsee und ist auch für die gemütlichen Läufer geeignet. Kurze intensive aber auch längere Anstiege und schöne Abschnitte durch den tief verschneiten Gerschniwald sind auf dieser interessanten Loipe anzutreffen. Loipe Trübsee Die schön angelegte Loipe rund um den Trübsee hat sich dem unebenen Gelände angepasst. Die Aussicht auf die einmalige Gletscher- und Gebirgswelt kann von der rund 6 km langen Loipe bewundert werden. Dank der Höhenlage ist die Loipe bis im Frühling geöffnet. NEU: Nachtloipe Sporting Park Neu ist die verlängerte Weltcup-Strecke (ca. 1.5 km) beim Sporting Park bereits ab *Mitte November jeden Dienstag und Donnerstag ab 19.00 bis 21.00 Uhr und ab Mitte Januar 18.30 bis 21.00 Uhr beleuchtet. Auf Anfrage steht die Loipe auch an anderen Abenden zu Verfügung. *sofern es die Schnee- und Witterungsverhältnisse erlauben |
