Engelberg | Ski touring & freeriding in Switzerland's freeriding hotspot with Bergschaft

Engelberg is one of the best-known freeride destinations in the Alps. Due to the high alpine location around the Titlis the region offers exceptionally steep terrain, large differences in altitude and an impressive glacier landscape. Legendary descents such as Laub, Steinberg and Galtiberg attract freeriders from all over the world. At the same time, Engelberg offers numerous ski touring options: from enjoyable tours in the area Brunni to challenging high-alpine endeavours around the Titlis. The combination of railway access, high alpine terrain and guaranteed snow makes Engelberg one of the most exciting ski touring and freeriding areas in Switzerland.

The main season for ski touring and freeriding around Engelberg usually lasts from December to April. The best powder conditions are often found in January and February, while spring, with more stable snow conditions, offers ideal conditions for longer ski tours. Thanks to the height of the Titlis glacier, freeride descents are often possible until late spring.

There is a wide variety of ski tours around Engelberg: from easy beginners' destinations to challenging peaks. Popular touring areas are located around the Brunni area, the Joch Pass or in the valleys around the Titlis.
With us, you will discover both classic ski tours and lesser-known destinations off the beaten track.

Yes, experienced splitboarders are very welcome on our courses. Our mountain guides are familiar with the special features of splitboards and take them into account when it comes to ascent technique, hairpin bends, tracks, line choice and safety aspects. It is important that your equipment is suitable for the terrain and that you are familiar with your splitboard.

We usually meet directly in Engelberg at an easily accessible meeting point.

Typical meeting places are

• Engelberg railway station
