Berghotel Trübsee - Accessible Only by Cable Car
Cable car access, slopeside, spa, and mountain views
About this hotel
The adventure begins before you even arrive at Berghotel Trübsee, with a 20-minute cable car ride from Engelberg up to the Trübsee middle station. Once there, you're at 1,800 metres, surrounded by striking mountain scenery and right on the ski slopes. This unique location means skiing, snow tubing, and a dedicated children's snow park are literally on your doorstep, perfect for families and active guests. After a day on the snow, the spa and wellness area provides a welcome retreat, and the ski storage keeps your gear ready for the next morning. Rooms offer mountain views, ensuring the alpine experience continues even indoors.

Our take
I recommend Berghotel Trübsee to skiers and couples who want to sleep in the mountains at 1,800 metres, right next to the slopes in Engelberg. It is accessible only by cable car, which is both the charm and the constraint: plan your arrival and departure around the lift times. There is a spa and wellness area, mountain-view rooms and ski storage. It is not the place for late dinners in the village.
- Book your mountain railway ticket in advance, it's essential for your arrival and departure.
- Make the most of the slopeside location; you're literally steps from the snow.
- Utilise the spa and wellness area after a day of skiing to fully relax and recharge.

Why guests love itReaching Berghotel Trübsee only by cable car made the trip feel like an expedition, and the kids loved it. At 1,800 metres, the hotel sits right next to the slopes, so we were skiing minutes after breakfast and stayed out until the last run. Our room had a mountain view, ski storage kept everything tidy, and the spa and wellness area was a cosy place to warm up once the day visitors had gone down.
