Located at 1,600 metres above sea level in the Brunni skiing and hiking area, opposite Mount Titlis, Berglodge Ristis is only reachable by cable car and offers ski-to-door access and an on-site restaurant. A ski school is close by.

The service staff member, Paolo, served us dinner and was an excellent host for the night. We had a lovely stay and my father in particular was really impressed.

Featuring a shared lounge, Hostel Engelberg is set in Engelberg in the Obwalden region, 1.3 km from Titlis Rotair Cable Car and 36 km from Lucerne Station. The property is situated 36 km from KKL Culture and Convention Centre Lucerne, 36 km from Chapel Bridge and 37 km from Lion Monument. Private parking is available on site.

Nadia and Thomas (and Barry the lovely dog) made me feel so welcome. Breakfast was all organic local food with fresh fruit, bircher muesli... nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable, immaculately clean rooms with a stunning view of the mountains. Straight out the door onto the cobbled streets at the heart of Engelberg.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, friendly owner, big room and everything was clean. They allowed us to bring our dog and provided a crib for our 2-year-old kid. Also parking space was available.

    The staff at reception were extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The building is quite old and the hostel part in which I stayed could need some renovation. But the room was quite big, the bed was comfortable, there was a desk, a washing basin in the room, wifi was excellent and everything worked. There was always a bathroom or a toilet in the hallway available. There is a lift and a tea buffet to get a cup of tea whenever you want one. I love that! Breakfast was great as well. I enjoyed my stay a lot and will definitely come again!
