Mount Titlis

Titlis

Central Switzerland's highest viewpoint mountain. Ride the world's first rotating cable car to a 3,020-meter glacier for cliff-edge suspension bridges, glacier caves, and a snow playground.

Mount Titlis is located in Engelberg, south of Lucerne. The summit is 3,238 meters above sea level, but visitors reach the Klein Titlis summit station at 3,020 meters. From Lucerne, take an IR train for about 45 minutes to Engelberg, then walk or ride a shuttle bus to the cable car station. From there, board a small eight-person cable car to Trübsee Lake and then the Stand transfer station. Switch to Rotair, the world's first 360° rotating cable car, which opened in 1992, to reach the summit. The whole trip takes about 45 minutes. Highlights at the top include the Titlis Cliff Walk, Europe's highest suspension bridge, about 500 meters above the ground and roughly 100 meters long; the Glacier Cave; and the Glacier Park with the Ice Flyer chair and snow tubing (roughly May to October). A round-trip ticket costs about CHF 96, with a 50% discount for Swiss Travel Pass holders. Many Chinese tourists visit, and the summit has Chinese signage and Chinese food. In summer, you can also hike around Trübsee Lake. Notes: the summit has thin air, so avoid running. On sunny days, UV rays are strong, so bring sunglasses and sunscreen. Even in summer, it can drop below freezing at 3,020 meters.
