We hugely enjoyed our week at Chalet Espen: we were equally impressed by the place and by the hospitality. This was the best-kept and most-comfortable catered ski chalet that we have stayed in. Simon & Catriona looked after us very well and served excellent (and extremely generous) meals: a varied menu, good-quality ingredients, great cakes at tea and plenty of... More

Duncurin Publishing and friends ( 15 in total ) were fortunate to spend New Year 2013 in Switzerland and we all felt once again that there was no finer place to do so than at the Chalet Espen.

Even... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Chalet Espen. Very cosy and familiar atmosphere, almost like home. Fantastic food every night and freshly baked cakes every afternoon. We can really recommend Chalet Espen and hopefully we will be back next winter!

This was our first ski trip to Engelberg. Chalet Espen is conveniently located within 10 minutes from the ski lifts and hire shop. The chalet itself has only recently been renovated and has high quality fittings and furniture (e.g. with underfloor heating in the bathrooms). It is kept immaculately. The owners, Catrina and Simon, were welcoming and helpful. The 3-course... More
