Traveller notes on Engelberg in September
Notes from nearby Lucerne (27 km away)
Engelberg doesn't have its own notes for September yet — these are about Lucerne, close enough to share the season.
September is the forum's pick for Lucerne — the August crowds gone, a first crispness in the mountains, and weather at least as good as August as often as not. Days run about 20°C, evenings cooler, with one caveat the record supplies: rain falls on nearly fifteen days. Regulars call September "not especially rainy as a rule" while also warning it can go from fully sunny to fully wet inside a day, which is the more useful half of that. Pack layers, waterproof shoes and a rain jacket for the mountains, plus high-factor sun cream. Snow in Lucerne itself would be very unusual; Titlis has it year-round, being a glacier.
Other months in Engelberg
Engelberg's forum calls January squarely within the best skiing window, roughly December through early March, when intermediate slopes are most likely to be in good condition across the region. Regulars point out Engelberg's edge: at least limited skiing on the Titlis glacier is essentially guaranteed regardless of how the season's natural snowfall is going elsewhere.
