Notes from the host
3/1 Apartment with Outdoor Space
ED Refnr. 971543
Welcome to our holiday flat in the Engi house, which is over 300 years old. The flat is only 100 metres from the cable cars, the post bus stop and the nearest restaurant. The location is sunny, quiet, family-friendly and with a beautiful view of the mountains. The flat has been left largely original, except for the kitchen, which was renovated in 2019. As in the old days, heating is provided exclusively by the guests themselves using the old, well-functioning wood-burning stove. Firewood is available in the wood room in the basement. In the winter months, basic knowledge of firing with wood and handling a wood-burning stove is an advantage.

General knowledge:
- The Haslital, like many other valleys on the Alpine ridge, is located in a foehn region. On a few days a year, the wind can become very strong. Experiencing this is an impressive natural spectacle, but it can also lead to restrictions on the mountain railways. On days with strong winds, the forest should be avoided due to falling branches and outdoor fires are prohibited due to the risk of fire.
- The Meiringen military airfield is located in Unterbach, 7 km from Hasliberg Reuti. Depending on the wind and weather conditions, the jets take off in the direction of Brienz or Meiringen. The military jets can be loud during take-off, but the noise is short-lived and most of the time it is quiet in the Haslital. The tourism organisations have also reached an agreement with the airfield that there will be no aircraft movements from Meiringen during the main holiday season.
- When there is high pressure in the cold season, the fog from the lowlands often only extends as far as the Brünig Pass and Lake Brienz. The Haslital and the mountains then enjoy beautiful skiing weather.
