Worth knowing. The piste skiing is an afterthought. Come for the off-piste or do not come.
Pre-season — snow reliability. There is no meaningful snow on the models yet, so resorts are ranked on how snow-sure they are: altitude adjusted for latitude, glacier cover and the size of the ski area. Live scoring resumes automatically once the snow arrives. How we rank

Is it worth it from London?
A week here works out 17% above the median for the 94 resorts we rank from London, and it comes 63th on value.
At 5 hours each way this is short enough to be worth doing over a weekend, not just as a full week — which is unusual and is most of the reason to pick it over somewhere further.
For what it is worth, Engelberg is cheapest to reach from Zurich, at about £1,110 — roughly £214 less than from London.
