Resort Overview
High-alpine excellence defines Titlis-Engelberg, where Switzerland's largest lift-served vertical drop delivers 2,000m of continuous descent from glacier to village. This remarkable terrain encompasses 82km of groomed runs reaching 3,028m at the Titlis summit, creating one of Central Switzerland's most snow-reliable destinations. The distinctive glacier sector remains skiable into May, while powerful snowmaking ensures village-level connections throughout winter. From technical blacks on the Laub face to sweeping intermediate runs through Trübsee's scenic landscape, the area combines serious challenge with accessible terrain. The historic monastery village provides cultural contrast to the cutting-edge mountain infrastructure, creating a destination balancing Alpine authenticity with high-performance skiing.
