Mount Titlis Tours

Mount Titlis Photos

The glacier at the top, the cable cars that climb to it and the valley below. Weighing up a Mount Titlis day tour? These are the places your day takes you.

The set opens at the summit. The Cliff Walk hangs across a rock face at about 3,041 metres, narrow and open to the wind, and the glacier's blue-lit cave runs through the ice beside it. A red signpost on the snowfield points the way to the chairlift, the bridge and the snow park, where you can slide down a groomed slope on an inflatable tube.

Then the ride. The cable cars cross high above the snowfields, and the round Rotair cabin turns as it passes its pylons, with the green valley far below. From the top, rock ridges rise out of a sea of cloud, a crevassed glacier spreads below dark peaks, and the ranges run on to the horizon.

The set ends in Engelberg: the village spread across its meadows under the rock walls, and a street of hotels and cafe umbrellas with a pointed peak behind.
