If you want to stretch your legs and breathe in some fresh mountain air, head out to Mount Pilatus for a bird's-eye view of Alpnach. If you like Mount Pilatus, you'll love Glacier Garden and Lake Side Promenade, both just a short drive away.

If seeing the sights is on your list of things to do, head to Geographic Centre of Switzerland— just one of the landmarks located 4.8 mi (7.7 km) from central Sachseln.
Fuerenalp Cable Car is just one of the landmarks located 2.5 mi (4.1 km) from central Engelberg, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip.
"Overall, this hotel was pleasant for a short 1–2 night stay and is a good option if you’re primarily looking for a place to sleep while exploring the area. The location and basic accommodations served their purpose, but there were several aspects of the room that made the stay less comfortable than expected.
The biggest drawback was the lack of air conditioning. During warmer weather, the room became quite uncomfortable, especially at night. The room itself was also much smaller than anticipated based on the photos and description. We stayed in a room with bunk beds, which were acceptable, but the overall layout felt very cramped.
One design issue worth noting is that the toilet and shower are separated, but the shower area is not adequately ventilated. Every time someone showered, the steam drifted directly into the bedroom area, making the room feel hot, humid, and stuffy. This significantly impacted the comfort of the space, particularly when multiple people were sharing the room.
I would not recommend this room configuration for three adults, and honestly, it would be a tight fit even for two adults with luggage. If you’re traveling light and only need a place to stay for a night or two, it may work well enough. However, for a longer stay or for travelers looking for comfort and space, you may want to consider other options."
Hotel Victoria Lauberhorn Wengen, a Faern Collection Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was conveniently located close to train station. The outdoor patio area is lovely place to enjoy drinks and take in the beautiful views. We were very disappointed that the pool and hot tub were under renovations and not usable. One of the main reasons we picked this hotel was to have a hot tub and pool to enjoy the amazing views. We were upset that we were not told in advance or given a discount for the inconvenience. Otherwise the staff was helpful and hotel is convenient to shops, restaurants and all the alpine activities."
"Love this hotel I will definitely be back it is so clean and comfortable. One thing I will say is that the breakfast is absolutely disgusting, jf that was different this would be an amazing hotel"
"OH MY!! WHAT AN AMAZING ROOM! We splurged for the balcony room and if you can do it you SHOULD. It was the most amazing room I have ever stayed in. Staff were outstanding and very professional. Bar tender was excellent. Would not have changed one thing about our stay!!"
"We enjoyed our stay at this hotel and felt it was worth the price because of its great location and beautiful atmosphere. However, the air conditioning was disappointing. I’m usually someone who gets cold easily, but I was uncomfortable and hot every night, which made it difficult to sleep.
Another downside was that guests had to pay an additional fee to use the gym next door. We also paid extra for breakfast, only to find out that many people got to eat without paying. A guest told us themselves they hadn’t paid. Good for them, but it was frustrating knowing we had paid for something others were getting for free.
On a positive note, I contacted the hotel in advance to arrange chocolate and flowers in our room for my husband’s birthday, and they did a wonderful job making it happen. He truly appreciated the surprise, which made our stay even more special."
"Great location for the train and the room was great clean tidy and a good size,
Staff were great very helpful from the moment you arrived.We had bed and breakfast which was very good quality it was a Continental breakfast but all the things were very good quality.
I would recommend this hotel for a few nights stay if you’re looking to be central, by the train station and have a short walk into the heart of the town which is a 300 mtr walk away. Great choice for me and my wife."
"Great location. Beautiful views from the room. Only thing to keep in mind is that it is a steep climb from the station. Just be aware of it with luggage."
