What is your Hotel called?

I'm not envious really :mrgreen: :P

Bandit, it's awesome, I have never seen somewhere quite like it. Only 82km of piste but endless off-piste :shock:

Blog should be up in moments )

I've just read your blog :thumbup: I really liked Engelberg, though I think you have more snow than I had ) You'll be sensible to take a guide if you want to nail the off piste from the top of the glacier. Easily accessed and oh so tempting!

There are a lot of seriously good freeriders residing in the resort, follow them with caution!

Are you enjoying the rotating cable car :lol:

I think you might be in the Terrace Hotel )

If you return to the resort another time check out http://www.skilodgeengelberg.com/
run by (Swedish?) freeriders. Anyways, pretty funky and just renovated. No idea of prices there.

Inspiring blog Tino. I feel a divorce coming on, Oh to be single, with a whole winter to go. :shock:

Since you descibe your accomodation, and give costings, can you please name them all. This is valuable first hand info.

Cheers Bandit, Dave.

So in order of asking...

1. The rotating cable car is class!! I was so impressed I rode it down so I could video the experience!! Once I get a chance I will put it on my blog.

2. I was indeed stazing at the Terrace, all very odd indeed. Don't get me wrong it's fine but just not my cuppa tea. It is kind of a communal eating arrangement where you may sit at dinner with 15 strangers. I ain't sharing my bottle of red with 15 Lithuanians, or anyone else for that matter.

3. I nearly booked that actually Bandit, was going to until I saw the deal including pass etc.

4. Dave, I really dont want to be cited in another divorce suit, 1 was bad enough, and no I wasn't, before you ask.

5. I intend to put up reviews, prices and links to all places mentioned in the blog, but this is time consiuming so it will be a gradual thing.

Good stuff Tino, just off to read your blog now. Hope you enjoyed it. Mrs H just said "He gets about a bit". If only she knew the truth, eh???? :wink:
