During our trip to the Swiss Alps, we made the strategic decision to base ourselves in Engelberg, a charming and picturesque town that proved to be an ideal starting point for our daily adventures. For accommodation, we consciously opted for an AirBnB over a traditional hotel, seeking a more personalized and authentic experience.
Our chosen AirBnB in Engelberg provided a wonderfully cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it feel less like a temporary lodging and more like a home away from home. Beyond its comfortable interior, the AirBnB was exceptionally well-equipped with all the necessary amenities, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. From the kitchen facilities to the living spaces, everything was thoughtfully provided. However, the most breathtaking feature of our accommodation was the vistas of the majestic surrounding mountains, their peaks often dusted with snow, creating a truly unforgettable backdrop to our Swiss Alps adventure. This picturesque setting provided a constant reminder of the incredible natural beauty that enveloped us, enhancing every moment of our stay.
Retrospective: Engelberg vs. Luzern/Interlaken as a Base
While Engelberg offered an awesome experience and a fantastic base for our Swiss adventure, in hindsight, Luzern or Interlaken might have presented even more optimal locations due to their superior rail connections. This would have minimized transfer times and offered direct routes to a wider array of destinations, especially given our extensive use of the Swiss railway network.
Nevertheless, Engelberg’s charm, stunning scenery, and the cozy AirBnB provided a unique and memorable stay that we wouldn’t trade.
