About

Variety throughout the year. In Engelberg, the main priority is a great mountain experience, whether in the snow on Titlis, in the Alps or on the toboggan run.

Spend a few wonderful days and nights in the heart of the largest skiing and hiking region in Central Switzerland! Our family and youth hostel – a rustic mountain house in traditional Swiss style – is just a ten-minute walk from the centre of Engelberg village.

From here you can explore the monastery village, enjoy the long skiing season on the Titlis or plan a variety of summer activities. You can choose from fun in the snow at the Glacier Park or on the Ice Flyer, action on the Aa Gorge experience trail, the Grotzliweg path or the marmot hike, a thrilling ride down into the valley on a scooter bike, or a visit to the local show dairy.

Non-refundable price:

Summary of traveller reviews

Youth Hostel Engelberg in Switzerland offers a very friendly and helpful staff, with excellent breakfast options. The hostel is clean and conveniently located near the train station. However, some recent guests note it can be expensive and may not be the most social atmosphere, with families and children sometimes present in dorms.

Wouldn’t recommend if you are a backpacker, not social what’s so ever, and hostel is full of families barely any backpackers. They allow children to stay in the dorms. I was in a 12 person mixed dorm and there was a family of 5 with children as young as 7 years old!! The only good things about this hostel is their breakfast, and their staff is very friendly and helpful.
