Engelberg Titlis
SwitzerlandTitlis has everything you’d hope for in a first-class alpine ski destination: wide terrain, traditional mountain huts, beautiful scenery, top-notch off-piste, lots of traditions and an authentic village at the base of the mountain. Jaws drop once you arrive at Titlis Rotair, the world’s first rotating chairlift, where you can catch a panoramic view of the region’s beautiful landscapes of crevasses, glaciers and snow-capped peaks. The skiable area runs across 50 miles of slopes, but there is plenty of room for fun in the snow, such as tubing, slides and electric snowmobiles rides and other winter sports, like cross-country skiing. In addition to skiing, you can climb to the top of the 9,800-foot mountain to venture across the Titlis Cliff Walk, the highest suspension bridge in Europe that offers the most spectacular views in the entire region. In the center of Engelberg, alpine chalets coexist with Belle Epoque structures and modern buildings.
