The Swiss Resort of Engelberg

   Last year was very stressful for my husband and me. We are both doctors, and we have lots of work to do all the time. Therefore, we decided to make a gift to ourselves and spend our holidays abroad, in Switzerland. Since my husband and I are very fond of skiing, the problem of choice is choosing a good ski resort. We decided to visit Switzerland ski resorts of Engelberg. Mount Titlis is the highest point in central Switzerland and a favorite tourist place of excursions. Spectacular views open from oriented rotating cabin lift Rotair. There are ice grotto, an ice park and a panoramic restaurant with the highest mountain in the world pizzeria on the mountain. We can take a tour to the Benedictine monastery in this ski resort. The city has a sports center with indoor pool, solarium, rooms for tennis, badminton, skating rink and a wall for climbers. Casino, three discos, shops and boutiques, 40 bars, cafes and restaurants in the village and 20 restaurants in the mountains of Switzerland entertain guests in the evenings.
   The resort has two separate areas of skating. This is very good for people who have just started to learn this sport. Area Brunni is recommended mostly for beginners and family skating. This is the northern slopes of the valley with five lifts: cabin, seat, and three rope tows. There are 12 kilometers of route (5 km of “red”, 7 km of “blue”) and learning slopes.
   The second, the main ski area is located to the south and has an interesting topography. There are two huge step-plateau: Gershnialp with yokes and “blue” training routes. Wide stage Tryubzee with frozen lake, where you can climb into the cockpit on a fairly sophisticated skiing of northern slopes of the Titlis, is above Gershnialp. The next, the lower half of three-kilometer route Rotegg will become a serious challenge even for a professional.
   Of course, we decided to avoid very hard route. Despite the fact that we are very fond of skiing, we do not have enough experience to pass such a dangerous track. Area Brunni was the best decision for us, and we were very happy! In addition, we enjoyed not only on skiing! There are 41 km cross country trails, 45 km of marked hiking routes and three toboggan routes at the resort. We tried to ride a sled! It was a feeling like you at the time of childhood!
