Itinerary
Pass by: Board your coach in central Lucerne and travel south to Engelberg, a glorious alpine village tucked in the shadows of Mt Titlis.
Upon arrival, hop aboard the aerial cableway with your guide, and then ride to the glacier’s summit — some 10,000 feet (3,020 meters) above sea level. Take a ride with the revolving cable car "Rotair" and enjoy the spectacular sights of the glacier's deep crevasses and gigantic ice boulders.
Visit the Glacier Cave and pass over Europe's highest suspension bridge - the Cliff Walk! Take a ride with the Ice Flyer which brings you close to the crevasses and the Glacier Park where you can experience snow tubing even in summer! Enjoy magnificent views of the Alps from the restaurants or the sun terrace.
Pass by: After an afternoon full of new experiences the tour ends again in Lucerne, where you have started your tour.

Traveler reviews
Enjoyable trip to Mt. Titlis from Lucerne
We travelled to Mt. Titlis from Lucerne for a half-day trip (a longer tour is also offered from Zurich) with "Best of Switzerland" tours. We were fortunate to travel on a beautiful rain-free day; our journey was picturesque and the tour covered our gondola tickets all the way from Engleberg to the summit of Mt. Titlis. The mountain itself is designed for visitors with a glacier cave, an Ice flyer, a cliff walk walk and restaurants tailored to your cuisine. We had a wonderful time; the only thing that could have been better was the time allocated by our guides for their English commentary (it was 1/3rd English and 2/3rd Spanish).
Beautiful location, very helpful guides, the snow made for a different experience
The guides were very helpful, and remained on hand through out the day, to ensure everyone got the most out of their day. The scenery was clearly beautiful, but due to the weather (which we obviously have no control over) the views were limited. This didn’t stop this trip from being a lovely experience. The snow gave it a different vibe, and actually made snow tubing a lot of fun.

It was an amazing experience! My husband and I enjoyed every aspect of this trip (even though it was very cold)! We had plenty of time to do all planned activities and still had enough free time to get a bite to eat.
Majestic Alps
The pickup site for the tour bus was easy to find and the ride to and from Engelberg from Lucern was without an hitch. Mt. Titlist is an amazing place to visit especially if you love snow and panoramic views of natural beauty. The views from the gondola and rotair to the summit were spectacular! And watching the skiers “bravely” wind down the slopes was awe-inspiring. At 75 years of age, I unfortunately had to skip the sledding, but having the clouds part for views of the majestic cliffs while on the suspension bridge will be an everlasting memory. Even though it was a beautiful sunny day, a hat, scarf and warm jacket were needed at the top. Being 10,000 ft high on a mountain in the Alps was an experience of a lifetime! Do it!
