Thank you both for your info & it looks as if stoeckli is recommended by both of you so will go for that option.
As I have no idea of the layout there do you have to go up the Titlis every time to ski the area or are there other lifts up,the reason I am asking is I don't wont to have my skis left there in case the group with me decide on going somewhere else at late notice ( like 8am ).

As for the Basil Fawlty type accom it should suit most of the guys as they have an uncanny resemblance
to the guests in the show especially the welsh one.

I am going to Engelberg on the 6th March staying in the Hoheneck.

Have any of you guys got any info or personel opinions on resort,hotel,skiing,apres ect.
For the first time I am looking to hire boots & skis,due to boots worn beyond repair & ski carriage
with BA being expensive, my skis are 10yr old carvers in good condition but now maybe a good time to try a more advanced ski.

If I do go for hire on skis any advice to what would be a good all round ski.
Went to Gerlos last year & TBH found the conditions very hard work due to it snowing heavily every night & piste bashers not able to cope leaving the runs like moguls all week,maybe a more advanced ski would have handled the conditions better.

As I have seen posted on here skis can be booked online to lower the cost, this site only lists one outlet THE 4 SEASONS & an online search of other companies brings you back to this shop as well so is it the only hire shop in Engelberg? any help on this as well please as this shop seems expensive even with the discount.
Thanks in advance

It wasn't required in the last 2 years so I shouldn't think it would be required this year.

I believe its because the restaurant at the top & the run down featured in a bond film,but I don't why it would make you feel like James Bond.
Perhaps you look like him. :lol:

Hi
I would like to say thank you to all the people who have replied,it seems there is more to this ski insurance than first thought.I usually ski 6 days each year & for the first number of years I had worldwide multi trip insurance which covered me for my summer holidays as well when I lived in the UK.
I have lived in Lanzarote for the last 6 years & TBH insurance for skiing has not been in my mind,but reading posts on here brought my attention back to it.
Finally I will check with brokers on the island ( hope they know what skiing is )as its a bit third world here,also try Bandits suggestion.

Thanks again
Brooksy

Thanks for that ise I will look into it.

Hi Snapzz

Thanks for your comment but not helpful,post says I am looking for insurance not avoidance.

Hi ise
