Mount Titlis

Overview

The Titlis experience is as thrilling as the summit itself. Your adventure begins with a ride on the Titlis Xpress gondola, which takes you halfway up the mountain. From there, you board the TITLIS Rotair, the world’s first revolving cable car, which offers a 360° panoramic view as you ascend to the peak. At 3,062 meters, you’re treated to an incredible sight of the Engelberg Valley below, and the sheer scale of the glacier, with its vast crevasses cutting deep into the ice. Once at the top, the real magic begins. A 150-meter-long glacier cave awaits, cutting through the heart of the Titlis Glacier. Inside, the icy ceiling is adorned with sparkling ice crystals, and the deep blue ice creates an otherworldly atmosphere. With crevasses visible in the roof, the glacier’s mystery comes alive. Be prepared for the cold, though – the temperature inside this frozen cave never rises above -1°C, so it’s wise to dress warmly. For those looking for even more fun, there are plenty of activities to enjoy on the glacier. You can hop on the Ice Flyer glacier chairlift, take a stroll around the glacier park, or even take on a glacier crossing or summit climb, which can be arranged with a mountain guide. Whether you're looking to relax or push your limits, there's something for everyone at the top of Titlis.
