Engelberg, Switzerland
Most Swiss ski resorts are
located along the border of France, Italy, or Austria. Engelberg, a village
of about 3,500 people hides in a valley right in the middle of Switzerland.
While the village is postcard perfect, the mountains don't look like much
of the Alps. Imagine the Grand Canyon, with layers of horizontal rocky
ledges and crenellated peaks like Hahnen that look like castle ruins.
Frost it with snow. Drop in a few plateaux for the skaters and cross-country
skiers, and add a glacier and a lake or two.
