 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Going to Zurich for a couple of days at the end of November, and wanted to do some skiing, so was looking at Engelberg. Would this be at all suitable for beginners? I know that it's mainly advanced, but we only need a couple of pistes! Or could anyone recommend any November skiing within a couple of hours of Zurich?
Thanks a lot

There are mellowish slopes around Trubsee/Jochpass but not the easiest and Titlis itself which is most snowsure isn't a particuarly gentle glacier. The real beginner area is Klostermatte by the monastery which I'd doubt would have snow that early and I don't know if Brunni is open that early.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

munchimo, When at the end of November ? The lifts seem to be closed until the 26th for Maintenance.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The red run on the glacier (served by a T-bar) is a real flatterer - we spent an afternoon several years ago just lapping that

Oh dear, I was thinking around the 21st! Would there be anywhere else within an hour or two of Zurich that might have snow then?
Thanks for the replies

Check out Flaine or Laax. Engelberg is not very beginner friendly.

I wouldn,t have thought Andermatt was that good for beginners either.

Davos is an hour and 15 minute drive from Zurich, not sure if its open but loads of easy runs if it is.

Can anybody recommend a Guide in Engelberg. I'm going there for a long weekend in February 2013 and would like to spend some quality off piste time away from the group for half an hour or so.
Any help would be welcomed !
