In and around Engelberg are various sights, worth to take your time and have a look at it. Please find following opportunities:

Show Cheese Factory
Unique cheese creation...Visit Switzerland`s only show cheese factory within a monastery. Cheese has been made in Engelberg since the 12th Century. By the 16th Century, the monastery had already exported hundreds of cheeses abroad. Today, the show cheese factory continues this tradition, producing different kinds of cheese from the fresh alpine milk of Engelberg. You can see, live through out the day, cheese being made by hand. Four containers are moved through a series of production stages, resulting in the uniquely formed and gourmet tasting “Engelberger Klosterglocke”. “Engelberger Klosterkไse” and “A bite of Switzerland” are additional speciality cheeses made at the monastery.

Valley Museum
The Engelberg Talmuseum has been set up in the „Wappenhaus“ which was built in 1786/87. The visitor will be given an insight into the history an life of the high Alpine valleys. As Born out by findings, the passes that surround the Engelberg were being used over 6000 years ago. The village of Engelberg came into being with the founding of the Monastery in 1120.

The pictures and documents exhibited bring to life the history of the valley community and its Monastery and the struggle of the Abbot’s subjects for their independence. Since the middle of the 19th century the one-time peaceful mountain valley has become a health resort of world renown. Winter sports stared being practised in Engelberg after the turn of the century.
