Engelberg · Switzerland

Your person
in Engelberg.

I'm Winnie. I live here all year round. When your guests arrive, I'm the one who meets them — so your company has a real face in the valley, without opening an office in it.

  • Guest service
  • Local coordination
  • Destination support

The idea

You can't be in fifteen places at once.

If a travel company sells fifteen destinations, having your own representative in every one of them simply isn't realistic.

Relocation, accommodation, contracts, seasonal recruitment, training — all of that, for one person, in one valley, for a few months of the year. So most destinations end up with nobody on the ground, and the guest ends up with a phone number in another country.

I'm already here. Hire me for Engelberg and you have someone in the valley from the day your season starts — someone who knows the town, the slopes, the hotels and the people who run them.

    Already here

    No relocation, no seasonal apartment, no recruitment round. I live in Engelberg year round, with my own office, and I'm ready when you are.

  • 02

    I know the ground

    The village, the slopes, the hotels, the lifts, the buses, the restaurants. Where the ski school actually meets, and which door to knock on when something goes wrong.

  • 03

    I represent you

    Your guests meet your service standards, in your name. You keep the relationship — I make sure it feels looked after on destination.

“When a transfer goes missing at eight on a Tuesday morning, somebody has to be in the valley.”

That's the job. That's me.

What I do

Support built around your guests, your operation and the destination.

Take all of it, or just the parts you're missing.

  • Arrival & welcome

    I meet your guests or groups when they arrive, hand over keys and information, and help them settle in and find their bearings in town.

  • Guest support

    A friendly point of contact before and during the stay — questions answered by somebody who is actually in the valley, not in a call centre.

  • Local presence

    Practical help in Engelberg when something needs a person rather than an email. Property checks, hand-overs, deliveries, showing up.

  • Partner coordination

    Hotels, ski schools, restaurants, transport and lift companies. I talk to them directly, in person, on your behalf.

  • Problem solving

    Plans change and things go wrong. Late transfers, broken bookings, closed lifts, weather. I sort it out calmly on site and keep you informed.

  • Remote administration

    Emails, enquiries, follow-ups, bookings and day-to-day coordination — also on the quiet days between arrivals.

How it starts

Simple, and shaped around your season.

  1. You tell me what you need

    Which weeks, how many guests, what your company usually does for them on destination — and what currently falls through the cracks.

  2. We agree the scope together

    Arrival days only, a full season, or something in between. Honest and clear from the start — including if I'm not the right fit.

  3. I'm your contact in Engelberg

    Your guests get a name and a local number. You get one person who already knows the destination and reports back to you.

What ties it together is simple: people arrive, something needs sorting, and somebody has to stay calm and take responsibility. That's the part I'm good at.

Reviews

How guests describe the service.

These are from guests who stayed at my rental apartment in Engelberg. Different setting — same job: make people feel genuinely looked after.

Winnie is a top class host who made us feel right at home. Winnie met us to check in and offered to buy us a few groceries in case we checked in late. It was the best place we stayed in during an 8-day holiday around Switzerland.

Ryan — Saul, United Kingdom

Winnie is by far the best host I have ever met in the last 4 years. She is very kind and left a personal note for my family with local chocolate on the table. Everything is perfect to the core.

Prem — Atlanta, Georgia

I think I never had a better host than Winnie. We got a warm welcome, she helped us find a nice restaurant, she's very kind and she's very attentive.

Jawika — Wattignies, France

When we entered the apartment we found a huge Toblerone with a note, and also bread and salami for dinner — despite the fact that we had booked at the last minute. Seeing this level of hospitality in such a short span of time was very touching.

Pallavie — Finland

Es war alles super, wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Winnie ist ein sehr zuvorkommender Gastgeber.

Bettina — Flims, Switzerland

We stayed at Winnie's place for one night and she was very responsive, friendly and welcoming. Location is the best one if you are looking for a Mt. Titlis trip.
