First snow in the Engelberg valley

The first snowflakes have fallen and transformed the Engelberg valley into a wintry white. For many, this marks the beginning of the best time of the year.

November is showing its quiet side. The big touring destinations are not yet accessible everywhere, but it is precisely these early winter days that hold a very special charm. The mountains feel still, the air is crisp and every track in the fresh snow feels like the start of a new season.

Early bird on the move

The first ski tours of the winter are often not record-breaking tours. It is less about peaks or metres of altitude and more about being out and about again, taking the gear for a spin and carving the first turns in the snow.

Such days are a reminder of how little it sometimes takes: a bit of snow, some time and the mountains right on your doorstep.

Anticipation of winter

With the first snow, anticipation for the upcoming season also rises. Freeriding days, ski tours, mountain camps and many other adventures around Engelberg are already waiting.

Bring on winter.
