ENGELBERG – YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITIES IN CENTRAL SWITZERLAND

Some resorts are great to visit in the winter while others thrive in the summer – but Engelberg manages to be a true year-round destination.

There’s something for visitors in all-seasons because of the wealth of facilities on offer. Among them are the Engelberg swimming pools - a 25metre indoor pool and a 50metre outdoor pool - both of which are ideal whether you plan on swimming a few laps or whether you just want to take a relaxing dip. Indeed wellness is very much a theme in Engelberg with the healing waters offering a brine or salt water pool with massage and whirlpool jets; the feel-good oasis that is the Finnish sauna with its steam rooms and ice grotto; and plenty of places to enjoy a relaxing massage.

If you fancy something a little more active, why not enjoy some Nordic walking with 360km of hiking paths, including along the river and by the meadows? You can test your climbing skills on Engelberg’s climbing wall in the sporting park; and there is a rope park that will really challenge thrill-seekers with balance bridges, hanging bridges and tyrolean slides.

Ice sports are popular too as Engelberg has its own ice rink. You can see if you’d be good enough for the Winter Olympics by challenging yourself to some curling, ice hockey or ice-skating.

There’s fun to be had travelling around Engelberg in a horse carriage while you enjoy the scenery; or if you’re feeling particularly wild then why not get your view of Engelberg from above the clouds with a spot of paragliding?

Whatever activities you enjoy, Engelberg is truly the destination for all seasons so check out what’s on offer now.
