Judged by the official piste statistics, Engelberg has little to
interest strong skiers, with just one black run in the Titlis area - a
steep mogul field - which is also the only pisted route down from the
upper area.
But the red runs that make up most of the rest of the
skiing are at the steeper end of the scale, with no let-up across most
of the Titlis and Jochstock areas. Skiing the length of either the
Trubsee-Stand cable car or the two chairs between Jochstock and
Alpstubli at the western end of the Trubsee gives a sustained descent
of 600 and 800 vertical metres respectively but without significant
opportunities to vary the route. If you’re doing laps, you soon realize
the restrictions that the glaciated terrain imposes on piste building
on these north-facing slopes. Engelberg’s second black run is on
Brunni, from the top lift, following the shoulder of the mountain
before feeding into the main red run, but it’s barely distinguishable,
in terms of pitch or the challenge it poses, from many of the reds
found in the main ski area and it’s quite short.
