Snowboarding Engelberg

Off piste adventures here you come – right down the beautiful vertical drops and out the chutes at the other end – but be careful – this is avalanche country. The skiable area is laid out all over like a fluffy white quilt just waiting for you to put your tracks all over, but it goes in and out a bit, meaning bowls, chutes, ridges, just interesting terrain.

Beginners head over to Brunni for the gentle ride, everyone else heave up to the glacier on the HUGE cable car – mind the hangovers lads.

Apparently Engelberg has the longest vertical drop in Switzerland – a bit of a feat when you check out those swooping Alps.
