Tour Options
Itinerary
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.
After an afternoon full of new experiences the tour ends again in Lucerne, where you have started your tour.

Very comfortable coach to Engerberg. Rotary ride is totally new to us. Unfortunately because of heatwave, not much snow at top of Mt Titlis. The ice cave was closed and there wasn't any ice tubing. A bit disappointed!
It was perfect weather. The cave was closed but everything else was awesome. The guide was great too
Amazing expérience. Our guides were super. Michelle from USA and Marianne. They explained us so well. Great places, magnificent views and super country Switzerland 🇨🇭 Yayyy 🥰🥳🥳
Would have been nice to know the ice cave was closed. That was the main reason we chose this activity. It was still fun and amazing views despite the clouds. Also we did not expect to be put with another tour and a Spanish tour. Ours said English. It was fine but just a lot of talking on the bus since she had to say everything in both languages. Made it hard to rest. We also had 2 guests using their phones on speaker the entire trip. It made it hard to hear what the guide was saying. I thought maybe the other guide would come and ask them to take it off speaker but they didn’t. Once again hard to rest with FaceTime talk on speaker and another playing games on speaker.
It was a great experience visiting Mt. Titlis with our tour guide Gaby
wonderful views, tour guides were great
It’s an incredible experience, would do again. We went in July and it was still pretty cold on the top. Pack a jacket or Sweater!
Excellent fun time, the tour guide was very informative and make the tour easy. Great choice beautiful scenery and unique experience
The guys were very fun and personable. They dealt with multilingual issues and very fun for us. Even learned a little mandarin. Our Canadian river guide was great
pick up and drop off on time. Tour guide was great.
