Engelberg, Switzerland

For some good skiing and incredible views catch a train from Zurich to Engelberg-Titlis. Using Snow N Rail, you'll pay just under 80CFH (with halbtax) and can get there in just over 2 hours from Zurich.

Upon arriving in Engelberg you'll have a couple options to ski. You can walk to your left and follow signs for Brunni (the "sunny side" of Engelberg, but don't be fooled) which will take you up a mountain with very little terrain and snow only on the top half. If you follow signs for the bus or walk to your right outside the main station, you'll find Titlis which offers superior skiing and views to Brunni.

Prepare your 5chf when you turn in your Snow N Rail voucher (remember to get your deposit back at the ticket office or train station). You'll encounter every form of transportation at Titlis as it literally takes a train, funicular, escalator, elevator, stairs and rotating cable car to get you to the summit. While there may be some over-engineering involved, the views of the Alps are worth the chaos of getting atop the mountain. Get to the top early, as the catwalks get skiied off very quickly in the day making the top unenjoyable the latter parts of the day. Take some time to enjoy views from 10,000 feet and then go ski the rest of the mountain!

You'll find all kinds of skiing here and for a link to the the details on Titlis click here.
