Things to see and do Engelberg

The view above Engelberg, at an altitude of 3,020 metres in a land of lakes and mountains, is of course magnificent. To make the most of it, you can take the Rotair cable car from Engelberg, which has the special feature of a steerable cabin. The experience continues with multiple activities on site such as the Titlis Cliff Walk at 3,041m. For a more fun activity to do with the family, snowtubing (a large buoy on the snow) will take you into great moments of laughter.

Founded in 1120, and rebuilt in 1730 after a fire, it still houses a religious college with 200 boarding students. It is one of the largest of its kind in Switzerland and its influence on the valley was essential until the French revolutionaries, as good anti-clerics, came to put it in order in 1798. Today, the monastery still houses a community of Benedictine monks. Public guided tours of the abbey are organised every week and can be booked online.
