Itinerary
Our new 8-seater cable car will transport you directly to the glacier world on TITLIS. Simply hop on at the TITLIS valley station in Engelberg and enjoy the comfy ride to 2450m asl. From there you take the TITLIS Rotair the world’s first revolving cable car, to the summit station.
3,041 metres above sea level. 500 metres off the ground. 150 heart-pounding steps. This is what awaits you on the TITLIS Cliff Walk, the spectacular suspension bridge high up on the summit. To cross the bridge, you'll need nerves as strong as the steel cables from which it hangs. On arriving at the summit, the route leads you through the glacier cave via an underground tunnel and on to the viewing platform at the south wall window. The suspension bridge stretches from here to the Ice Flyer glacier chair lift station. The TITLIS Cliff Walk is just one metre wide and over 100 metres long. The views into the abyss below are breathtaking! The TITLIS Cliff Walk holds the record for being the highest suspension bridge in Europe.
Be sure to cast your eyes down into the impressive glacier world below. The Ice Flyer chair lift sweeps you smoothly and safely over crisp, virgin snow fields and icy depths. Some of the crevasses are up to twenty metres deep. Only here on TITLIS can you expect such a fantastic glacier experience.
This glacier cave forms the frosty heart of TITLIS. The ice here is up to 5,000 years old. The cave's 150-metre-long walkway descends ten metres below the surface of the glacier. Exploring the glacier cave is a cool experience. The temperature inside the cave remains a frosty -1.5˚C.

We took a day trip to Titlis, as the impressive Titlis Tower is now open. Impressive facility at 3000 meters above sea level! We were at the summit early in the morning, which was definitely worth it. There is so much to do in this area that a day trip is not enough. Next time, I will take an extended weekend. In winter, this is a great ski area, and in summer, a hiking area. Ambiance: wonderful Price / performance: not cheap, but worth it Highly recommended: absolutely
Family visit in May. That day we went up to snowed. The logistics is easy and very organized. We recommend full clothes from cold, as la on top is very cold (below zero). It has a restaurant with very good prices. Worth a visit completw
Beautiful scenery! Modern facilities, 360 degree rotating funicular. Perfectly equipped for quality tourism. Moderate rates. Thanks to Soon
I recommend not booking this excursion.As the operator is not honest or transparent. We were in touch the day before and a few times the morning of the excursion. Once I arrived at Mount Titlis, i was informed that the Ice Flyer Chair Lift and the suspension bridge were both closed but the operator never informed me of this , even after multiple communications. I then requested a partial, 40% refund , because half of the excursions included in the package , I was unable to participate in. They denied a partial refund. This is a horrible dishonest operator so I would stay away.It is not worth the money. It is a waste of money.
Lovely ski hut and mountain station with great food. Outstanding customer service: the friendly staff not only made the restaurant experience great, but also went above and beyond by quickly locating forgotten personal items and sending them to my home free of charge.
From Lucerne it is necessary to take a train to Engelbert for about 45 minutes and then 5 minutes walk for 30 minutes of cable car uphill and disappointment because there are works in progress and not much to do except the bridge. Of course nothing is indicated and the prices are the same! Reach completion in February.
Glad we decided to head up despite the fact we didn't ski. Headed up on the cable car and the views were incredible. There is a tubing area and restaurants. We recommend heading up to the peak. There is a cafeteria style restaurant, afull service option and a snack/gift shop. The ice cave was entertaining. Obviously appropriate dress is necessary. But also make sure to wear appropriate shoes. The surface is icy and people were slipping and sliding every where. The Ice flyer and suspension bridge was fun as well
Mount Titlis — very disappointing experience. Definitely not worth the time or money. Once you reach the top, there is very little to do — the entire walk takes no more than 15–20 minutes. The worst part is the waiting time: around one hour just to go up and another hour to come back down. What makes this even more frustrating is that no one warns you in advance about these massive queues — not during ticket purchase and not on site. Spending two hours standing in lines for such a short and underwhelming experience feels completely unreasonable. Overall, the place is overcrowded and poorly managed for the number of visitors. I would not recommend this experience.
Booking with Viator is so easy and convenient and I would highly recommend to visit Mt Titlis, Switzerland
Overall it was a nice experience. Scanning the voucher barcode at the machine at Titlis did not work, however, and we had to queue at the ticket office to exchange the voucher for tickets.
