....I was only watching and taking photos. Amazing speed these guys travel out - easily out run us - they only took air when they hit the flat at bottom of the Laub

Craghopper, were you with the SCGB party?...thought I saw the Rep at the Schwiezerhof on Saturday when we were having drinks there - we were going to tell him about the epic powder day we had the day before!
Yes, photos 2, 3 and 6 were on the Laub - the avalanche in photo 6 buried the top of the beginner slope

red 27, We flew easyjet, I think BA fly there as well. There is a frequent bus service that stops outside the railway station - takes 20 mins. Train to Engelberg takes 2 hours via Lucern. Easy.

red 27, Basle may be cheaper but you'll need to bus 20 min to the Banhof..... Change at Lucern for Engleberg and the journey is about 2.15..
Go to Zurich and the Banhof is underneath the airport. You can catch direct to Lucern for the change..or you will have to change at Zurich HBB, IIRC, so about the same time travel.
All in all, not much in it and the flight should dictate which airport you use, IMV.

Fishwins, JT, Thanks guys.... I love the train interchange at ZCH airport so may stick with that but it's worthwhile knowing there's a usable alternative

If you're driving, Basle is a little bit further but a much easier drive
The train is always a bit of a pain from Zurich because you have to wait 45mins at Lucerne for the transfer

Arno, that is more relevant then... the Basle link at Lucern is normally better timed for Engelberg..about 20mins IIRC...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.
