Learn to ski in Engelberg
Engelberg is located in a high valley, between the mountains Titlis (3239m) and Hahnen (2600m), and is part of the ski resort Engelberg-Titlis. It lies at the heart of Switzerland, only about 2h away from Bern and 1h from Zurich, and thus is the perfect location for all snowsport lovers. This ski resort is one of the biggest ski resorts in Central-Switzerland and is widely known for being a venue of the ski jumping world cup.
The area’s mountains offer diverse slopes that cover all difficulty levels. On the Titlis, freeriders, snowboarders and skiing professionals will find perfect conditions. Thanks to the mountain’s glacier, the slopes on the Titlis are snow-safe at all times. You’ll also find the ski resort’s longest slope on the Titlis. Additionally, you can discover the ski resort Brunni, on the Schonegg (2040m). Most of the slopes on the Schonegg are blue and thus perfect for kids and families. The Jochstock (2564m) is always a good choice for a nice skiing afternoon.
Alongside the classic lessons for skiing and snowboarding, the ski schools in Engelberg also offer off-piste activities, cross-country skiing, sledging and snowshoeing. There are also several kids’ areas in Engelberg. The Yeti-Park, just behind the restaurant Ristis, and the Globis Winterland, right next to the valley station of the Klostermatte lift, are places where the children can practice and have fun at the same time!
Engelberg’s highlight is definitely the Rotair Bahn, a cable car with rotating gondolas that leads up to the glacier’s peak. Once you’ll have checked out all the nice spots and seen all the beautiful views, you’ll have the possibility to experience the après-ski culture in the Brunnihütte après-ski chalet - at an altitude of 1860m!

When should we book?
During the holiday weeks, ski and snowboard courses are usually fully booked. In order to make sure that there is still a place available in the desired ski or snowboard course, the motto is: the sooner the better.
How do we find our appropriate experience level?
Next to the menu item "Experience level" you will find a description of the individual experience levels. If you're still not sure, you don't need to worry. Simply choose the experience level that best suits your abilities. Before the first lesson of a group course, ski schools will assess your abilities so that you can be placed in the right group. In any case, private instructors will take your abilities into account on an individual basis.
How do we find offers including equipment?
All offers including equipment are marked with the inscription "Ski rental included". If you find the inscription "Ski rental optional" you can book the equipment for this offer. You will find offers including equipment faster if you select the filter "Ski rental including" under the menu item "Popular options". Depending on the provider, an offer including equipment contains: skis, ski poles, ski boots and helmet. You will find a detailed list of the included rental items in the respective offer description.
There is no offer including equipment, where can we alternatively rent equipment?
In a ski resort there is almost without exception the possibility to rent winter sports equipment. If you book via CheckYeti, you will receive discounts from our partner Skiset, where you can conveniently reserve your equipment online.
How many participants are usually in a group?
This depends on the ski school. Some ski schools have a maximum number of participants per group. You can find this information in the descriptions of the offers.
At what age can children ski or snowboard?
There is no fixed age limit here. Supported by specially trained children's ski instructors, children can already learn to ski playfully at kindergarten age. Depending on the children's level of motoric and social development, the ideal starting age is between 4 and 5 years. Occasionally there are children who can already learn to ski at the age of 3 1/2 years.
How many days should the lessons last for our children?
During the holiday weeks, children's ski courses for beginners usually start on Sunday or Monday. The program is designed in such a way that the best learning results are achieved when your children take part in the ski course throughout the week. So they don't miss the final event (race, etc.) and experience a great week with their group. For advanced children the learning success usually kicks in on the third day.
Is it better to put our child in a group lesson or a private tuition?
The group lessons are generally recommended for beginners. Learning together with peers is more fun. The children are not constantly in the focus and have the possibility to catch their breath between the individual exercises, while the other children are on it. In order not to underchallenge highly talented children, a private ski instructor is recommended.
Can we join our child with a private instructor?
Yes, that's possible. Some providers even offer special family offers. Otherwise, you can simply book a private instructor for children or adults and inform the ski school after booking that you would like to go together.
