| Engelburg conditions |
Ace, How's the snow in Engelburg and what's the forecast ? I'm considering a visit to Engelburg April 19-20 and wondering what conditions might be like then... Also, any good sources of info on cheapo B&Bs etc would be nice... TIA Rog |

Engelberg, however, had great conditions at least up until Saturday. Reports since then suggest that yet more snow and cold conditions have prevailed, so I'd suggest it will be at least as good for a while yet. Snow depths are between 2 and 3.5 metres around the area, and off-piste has consistently been soft, albeit heavy at times (when warmer) for the last month or so. >I'm considering a visit to Engelburg April 19-20 and wondering what >conditions might be like then... Well that's a way off yet, but I think you could pretty much guarantee good skiing, given the current snow depths, although perhaps not all the way down to village level (100m). >Also, any good sources of info on cheapo B&Bs etc would be nice... Ahh, well I won't be there that weekend, so can't offer a bed, and TBH I don't really have much experience of B&B type places. We once stopped in the hotel Chuchichastli (spelling optional) which was OK, although I don't know what you mean by 'cheap'. There's also a Hostel of some description which I've no info about. Try that interwebby thing for more info. -- _______ .'_/_|_\_'.
