Traveler reviews
Alpine village nestled at the base of the mountains.
Engelberg is a pretty little alpine town nestled at the base of the Alps- the scenery is spectacular. Hang gliders were seen while we were there. There are a few shops, a nice park, a monastery garden (can't go in the monastery), and a church. The part you want to do (which I didn't) is ride the gondola up the mountain. It stops partway or you can ride all the way up. A friend went all the way up and saw cows grazing with the bells on their necks (all it was missing was Heidi in her little dress) for what you would envision Switzerland to look like. There was also a place for swimming. The restaurant Cafe & Apero had some great pizza. This trip does not have a tour once you are there, you are dropped off and then picked up 3 hours later. If you don't ride the gondola, it is too much time to spend in the city itself.
Engelberg small
You might want to take the (formerly free, but now there’s a fee) lift, then walk the low route below the monastery and shop a bit, just to not spend the whole time in the small town.
Awesome tour
Had an absolute wonderful tour with Matthew and his colleagues, driver did an awesome job navigating the windy roads, Matthew was a wealth of knowledge, downside was people being late to the bus and alas on another tour today and waiting in the heat for more people to arrive
Fun Day Tour!
It was a great experience and fun tour with Adolfo and Jose. Everything‘s organized and punctual!
Lucerne and Engelberg
It was a fun day trip. Lucerne is such an old vibe yet it was truly amazing! Engelberg is surprisingly fun to tour with. The village was so peaceful , not crowded. Our tour guide Angela and driver Jose were so good, very friendly and accomodating and informative
