Engelberg Winterlights

From 1st of December 2026 it is that time again: Engelberg will be shining in a very special light. Alongside the winter illuminations, ten light sculptures await you every day between dusk and 11:00 pm – unique works of art up to four meters in height. Enjoy the million stars circular tour during your stay.

The sculptures were specially designed for Engelberg, and many of them reflect on the village’s fascinating history as a tourist destination. You can visit the sculptures one after the other on a tour of the village, or you can select specific ones independently. The background to each sculpture is explained on a sign next to it.
 

Capture your special moment

Don’t forget to take your phone or camera along on your tour because you can pose inside many of the sculptures. Capture your radiant moment in a selfie and share it with the world #winterlights.
