Top News / Special offers summer Snow-sure Winter Holidays in Engelberg

Over the past two years Titlis Rotair Cableways have invested 8.5 million francs in new machines to make artificial snow. Thanks to these, 41 km of pistes are now guaranteed snow-covered.

One of the longest descents in the Alpine region is the one from Titlis to Engelberg, and for the first time ever, snow is now guaranteed on the whole length of this 12 km long run. www.titlis.ch

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 20 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
