All about the view
Simply beautiful! Our favorite part was going up and then down the mountain looking at the stunning views. Having a glass of Prosecco at the top was frosting on the cake.

Tourist Trap - Don’t waste your money
Huge tourist trap. Overly commercialized and expensive for what you actually get. Especially since their best advertised attractions close at a moments notice. Cliff walk? Closed. Rotating cable car? Closed. “Glacier Cave?” man made and not worth the cost to go to the summit. Save your money and go elsewhere. Giving it one star because the views at the top are “okay.” 1/10 would not recommend.

Great Experience
Well worth the extra cost, but don't expect the tour guide to add much. Meeting point was confusing as it was across the street in the bus parking lot and not at the Google map location. Make sure you check ahead of time the weather and that all the activities are open the day you are going before you book. Best to pay last minute and cancel if you need to.

Mount Titlis Day Trip
My wife and I had a wonderful day trip to Mt. Titlis. The views were absolutely spectacular, and the entire experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Switzerland. Adolfo was a fantastic tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great experience throughout the day. Carlos was also an excellent driver, making the trip comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable. Mt. Titlis is truly breathtaking, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Switzerland. A memorable experience from start to finish!

Construction site
Glacier cave was shut due to warm weather Was not informed prior to booking that the peak of the mountain was basically a construction site

Beautiful views
It was after a rare rainy day, and the bridge was iced over. The ice cave was closed. We were disappointed, but understood.
