L'AMICALE #3 - 2027 - Engelberg

After an unforgettable second edition in San Martino di Castrozza, in the Italian Dolomites, L’Amicale is heading back to Switzerland for its third edition!

 

We're back!

Once again organised together with our friends at Pomoca, we're also happy to welcome Jones Snowboards as a new partner of the event. This year's edition will take place from December 10 to 13, 2026, in Engelberg, in the heart of Central Switzerland.

We wanted to introduce you to this mountain resort nestled beneath spectacular peaks, offering an incredible playground for skiing and snowboarding, with plenty of different routes to explore.

This year, we'll be dropping our bags and climbing harnesses at the Ski Lodge Engelberg, a warm and welcoming place that perfectly captures the spirit of L'Amicale.

P R O G R A M M E

As we kick off the winter season, we'll once again put the focus on mountain safety. It's a chance to share knowledge, brush up on the fundamentals, and take the time to get ready together for the winter months ahead. Three days and three nights to learn, explore, and share good times: splitboarding & ski touring, mountain safety workshops, raclette, powder (fingers crossed!), fireside conversations, and above all, great people and new friendships to start the winter season the way we like it, up in our Alps! The full weekend costs CHF 690.– and includes:

• 3 nights with half-board at Ski Lodge Engelberg
• 3 days of ski touring or splitboarding with IMGA-certified mountain guides
• Avalanche safety and alpine skills training
• A few surprises :)

You can find all infos and the full programme here.

R E Q U I R E M E N T S

L'Amicale is open to everyone, where passion and curiosity matter more than performance. You don't need to be a mountain expert: all you need is to feel comfortable skiing or snowboarding off-piste, be over 18, bring your own gear (touring skis or splitboard and avalanche safety equipment), have accident and mountain rescue insurance, and most importantly, bring your biggest smile! Our team and guides welcome participants in French, German, and English.
