Engelberg

Engelberg
Engelberg is a charming mountain town in central Switzerland, surrounded by the impressive Alps. Known for its stunning scenery, this place transforms with the seasons - covered in snow during winter and blooming with wildflowers in summer.
The town sits at the foot of Mount Titlis, one of Switzerland's highest peaks at 3,239 meters. Visitors can take a rotating cable car to the summit for breathtaking views. The area is famous for its excellent skiing in winter and hiking trails in summer.
Engelberg has an interesting history, dating back to 1120 when Benedictine monks founded a monastery that still stands today. The monastery's influence helped shape the town's development over centuries. The baroque-style abbey church is worth checking out for its impressive architecture and the monks still produce their own cheese there!
Swiss culture is very much alive in Engelberg, with local festivals, traditional music, and authentic cuisine. The town offers that perfect Swiss mix of outdoor adventure and cultural experiences. Despite being relatively small, it punches above its weight with what it offers visitors year-round. The crisp mountain air and spectacular Alpine backdrop make this place special among Switzerland's many mountain destinations.
