Globi, the blue bird with a yellow beak, beret and red and black checked trousers, simply belongs to Engstligenalp. The Globi experience begins when the Globi cable car takes your whole family up the mountain in winter. He welcomes you to the most beautiful plateau in Switzerland: Together you will explore the Engstligenalp and experience an unforgettable Globi adventure with the whole family – not only children’s eyes will light up.
The Globi cable car takes your whole family up to Engstligenalp. Already then the adventure with Globi begins, because on the way there is much to discover. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of the frozen waterfall.

Right next to the Berghotel, the Globi Kinderland awaits adventure-hungry guests on the slope. From morning to evening you will be spoiled by the sun here. And with a bit of luck, Globi is already on site, because the blue bird loves the snow just as much as you do. A fun Globi trail with a drive-through gondola, bumps and staked-out gates awaits the little guests in Kinderland. Fun is guaranteed – not only for children.
A special family event is also a visit to the excitingly designed Horä Trail, which is located further back at the Bockmatti lift: Wave troughs and steep wall curves provide fun and action on a family vacation in the Alps. The fast ride through the old Engstligen gondola is an unforgettable experience.
Or you can whiz down the slope in a tire on the snow tubing track. Skiing and frolicking in the snow make you tired? Then rest easy on the children’s carousel or snowtubing.
You will meet Globi in the Kinderland on Engstligenalp mostly on skis. He likes to brag about his driving skills and may even ask you to follow him. That’s always a lot of fun!
Of course, Globi is also happy to stand in front of the camera with you for a souvenir photo. And if you’re a little lucky, Globi will even have a little surprise for you: small gifts such as tattoos, glue and postcards will quickly light up children’s eyes.
You admire the great skiers during their elegant turns on the slopes? You can do that too! At the Globi Ski School you will learn to ski every Saturday and Sunday during the winter sports season from the end of December to the beginning of April. Everyone is welcome up here – beginners as well as budding professionals. Two children’s lifts with several exits will take you and other little winter athletes to the slopes. With a bit of practice, you’ll be able to make your first short turns in no time at all, and you’ll be able to curve down the slope with confidence.
Details for winter 25/26 will follow.

Do you already know the story of Globi, how he becomes an alderman on Engstligenalp for one season? The alpine dairyman has suffered an unfortunate injury – no question, Globi is standing in for him. Now there is a lot for him to do, a lot to learn and a lot of new things to discover again. So it happens that Globi spreads cow dung on the pastures, hauls huge bales of hay, learns to yodel through a milk funnel or how to wave flags. During his alpine summer he has to deal with cheeky cows, meets dwarfs and a giant. What else he experiences, you can read for yourself right now!
Globi books and CDs are available in the Globi Stübli or in the mountain hotel.
The Globi Stübli is open when the Globi cable car is in operation.
