Engelberg, Switzerland and trip extension to Brussels and Bruge, Belgium January
25 - February 4, 2025
We're happy to announce that the 2025 Ski With Charlie European trip will be to one of the most famous and storied ski
centers in all of Europe: Engelberg, Switzerland. The vast ski area, centered on Mount Titlis, features incredible skiing
for all levels of ability. The high altitude (3,280 feet in the village, and 10,000 feet to the top of Mount Titlis ski area)
guarantees good snow. The alpine village of Engelberg is a delight, and our hotel is right in the middle of it.
THE TERRACE HOTEL
The beautiful Hotel Terrace proudly presides over the village of Engelberg. Built in the Art Nouveau style, the hotel will
transport you back to the era of elegant travel on the continent. Enjoy alpine elegance with panoramic views over the village
and the surrounding mountain landscape. The 110 cozy rooms not only provide comfort but also unforgettable mountain moments.
After a day of skiing, unwind in the new Panorama Sauna or treat yourself to a gin at the Porticos Bar. The central location
allows you to explore charming Engelberg on foot, and the Titlis valley station is easily accessible with the complimentary
ski bus.
SKIING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
BRUSSELS/ BRUGES
Brussels is the capital of Belgium, Flanders and Europe. The Medieval Grand-Place, is indeed grand, with many 17th-century
buildings and daily flower markets. Reopened in 2006, the Atomium, Brussels' Eiffel Tower, provides great views, inside and
out. Architecture fans should visit Musee Horta, home of Belgian master architect Victor Horta. St. Gery's clubs and bars
are packed year-round. Seafood eateries abound in Ste. Catherine. Included in your visit to Brussels is a 3 hour guided tour
with a friendly local guide. Your hotel for three nights is the four-star NH Brussels Louise, conveniently located right next
to the prestigious Avenue Louise shopping street in the heart of the uptown center of Brussels, with many restaurants and
bars nearby. The hotel is within 15 minutes of the European Commission and Grand-Place, and you can walk to many major sites
and attractions in just 15 minutes, including famous museums, the Midi Station, Parc de Bruxelles, Royal Palace and Place
du Grand Sablon.
Also included in your tour price is a day-long excursion, with guide, to the medieval city of Bruges, the capital of West
Flanders in northwest Belgium. It is distinguished by its canals, cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Its port, Zeebrugge,
is an important center for fishing and European trade. In the city center’s Burg square, the 14th-century Stadhuis (City
Hall) has an ornate carved ceiling. Nearby, Markt square features a 13th-century belfry with a 47-bell carillon and 83m tower
with panoramic views.
