I definitely want to do Engelberg again on skis, preferably with decent
visibility.

Oh, do I recall correctly that there are lockers at the main lift? Only it
occurred to me that one could wear ordinary shoes to walk to the lift and then
leave them at the bottom.


There are ski lockers, of the rack type, but I don't think there are
any actual closed-door ones.

But what most people who want that sort of thing do is simply dump
their ordinary shoes, usually in a bag of some sort, under one of the
benches at the lower exit from Truebsee, or on the top floor next to
the ski rack lockers at the top of the stairs. Never heard of anyone
losing anything they've left there.

Of course the exact layout of the lift stations is all changing now,
as they've started construction on the new fast lift that goes all the
way up to Stand. I note on some artists impressions that this also
shows some new learner areas at Truebess, which will be very welcome
for early season instruction.

Contrary to the original plans, the new lift now seems to be starting
from just next to the old one, as opposed to next to the railway
station in the village. I guess the additional cost and impact of
doing that simply to avoid a one-minute bus journey lost out to common
sense in the end.
