At Ski Lodge Engelberg's on-site restaurant, Chef Jonas Bolling conjures up extraordinarily good New Nordic cuisine that’s as pretty as a picture and perfect for refuelling after a tough day on the slopes (the three-course skier’s menu is a steal at Sfr59). If you’re not a hotel guest, be sure to reserve a table in the high season.
