Well, it was an excellent week in Engelberg - except for Thursday afternoon when you could see only a yard in front of your face. Horrible.
Immaculate snow all week, lots of scope for lift-served off-piste but the resort does have two major weaknesses - very little tree-line skiing for bad weather and a horrendous lift bottleneck for access to the mountain (on Friday morning the queue was awful).
Otherwise the efficient Swiss International and SBB travel combination did the trick -skiing early on Monday afternoon after leaving early Monday morning. And skiing yesterday until 2.30pm and back in the UK by 10pm local.
Quirky hotel, but that's another story.....

It was good then :D What do you need to see for, was the powder not over your head? 8)
We really do need to know about the hotel :D

I may be a little old fashioned but I do like to see where I'm going.
No heating or hot water when the temperature was -12 outside! That's pretty quirky in my book!
