Ski Lodge Engelberg

I didn’t stay here but stopped by for après ski on two afternoons during a recent vacation to Engelberg.
The building is located just behind the train station (closer to the ski area). In early March, spring is definitely in place in the town so it is super comfortable to hang out outside. The hotel had set up a kicking band from somewhere in Scandinavia (Sweden I think). Unfortunately I don’t remember where they had traveled from, but I will never forget seeing three guys in green skinny jeans and white tanks. That coupled with the awesome mix of American 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s music meant that I was a happy camper after great days of skiing. The bar had some seating areas to the left and right of the stage, while in the center was a decent sized bar. Two bartenders were serving drinks and one fellow was grilling up some food. Prices on drinks were ok, but food was a bit steep. There was also a bar inside which was definitely less crowded and a quicker turnaround time for service. Once the band stopped playing, the place cleared out pretty quick. The good news for this place was that it was the only bar making a true après ski effort in Engelberg. Smart move by them.

I absolutely loved staying at this ski lodge when I was in Switzerland last summer. The food was great and the staff were so nice. I loved Switzerland and staying here made the trip that much more enjoyable. All of the windows open and we had a cute little balcony also. The air is so fresh so to be in a hotel with windows that open so you can enjoy the fresh air is amazing. The beds are so comfy that I slept in and nearly missed my trip up Mt Titlis! lol!

I was looking for one night on a weekend and this place has been highly recommended to me.
It’s fair to say that it’s a cozy place, but this means as well that the stairway is super narrow (1 person at a time), no elevators, nobody helping you with the luggage, tiny rooms and tiny beds (5 feet for 2 persons).
Staff was very friendly and kind and the room was clean and neat. I had no dinner there so I can’t judge but breakfast was without service and nothing special, but ok.
The Bar is cool and the outdoor sauna and hot tub are a very nice detail. So all over it’s a nice place, it’s just WAY too expensive for what it is.
But if you are willing to spend a lot of money and like this rustic chalet style, this is a good place for you. I’m not sure if I will go back there…

Top to bottom, a great Swedish staff provided me a super experience! Great food, breakfast and dinner with the best bar scene in town. The outdoor hot tub and sauna were a nice treat!
They’ve built a great brand with a perfect location to the train and ski bus.
So happy to have been able to stay here for two nights over the Christmas holiday.

To close up the snow season i came here with the swedish group Swepa.
On friday i got the train with two friends and when we got there it was snowing like crazy.
The lodge is really in front of the train station and we got our room very quickly. They have a big room to leave the snow gear and i like the heating system they have for the snowboard/​ski boots.
I shared a double room with a friend and it was really cozy. Loved the deco of the hotel, with lots of old skis hanging on the walls.
Since we were a group we already had food included in the package. So we had an apero when we got there, great breakfast, sandwiches to take with us for picnic and at night, on Saturday, a superb 3 course dinner!
The sevice was great and the people super nice! The owners are swedish, so it is a popular place for them, but they all spoke german or english as well.
Only minus point, was that the jacuzzi was broken, so we ended up going to another hotel to get into the spa, since the lifts were closed due to avalanche alarm on the mountain.
Would love to come back, really liked it!

super bar, gute musik, coole leute, rauchfrei, loungig. alles was man zum apres board oder auch mal später zum es gut haben braucht.
