Engelberg is a municipality in the canton of Obwalden in Switzerland. It has a population of c. 3,500, of which 600 are of foreign nationality (2000). It is the leading mountain resort in central Switzerland. In the Middle Ages, Engelberg was known for the educational accomplishments of its Benedictine monastery, whose school was well-known and regarded throughout the country. From the 19th Century, Engleberg became internationally known as a resort and spa, but is today visited as much for skiing as for its clean air. With its combination of modern sports facilities and alpine location, Engleberg is a magnet for both summer and winter tourism. The closest large cities are Lucerne and Zurich.
