The experience

The day starts with a check-in at the Gray Line counter at Sihlquai in Zurich, then a scenic coach ride takes you to Engelberg in central Switzerland. From there, cable cars carry you upward: first a standard line, then the Rotair, a rotating gondola that completes a full 360-degree turn during the 40-minute climb. By the time you step out at 3,020 meters, you've seen the valley, the peaks and the approach from every angle, and the altitude guarantees snow year-round, regardless of the season you travel.

Two full hours at the summit means you can move through the four included attractions without rushing. The Glacier Grotto lets you walk inside the ice and touch it with your hands. The Titlis Cliff Walk is a suspension bridge strung across a gap in the mountain, Europe's highest, and the views down into the glacier crevasses from the Ice Flyer chairlift are the kind of thing people describe in detail for years afterward. If you're there between May and September, the Fun Lift snow tubing park opens up too. Several restaurants sit at the top, so you can eat or drink while you're up there, though food and drinks aren't included in the tour price.

The descent retraces the cable car route back to Engelberg, then the coach takes you to Lucerne for roughly an hour (time enough to walk the old town or sit by the lake) before the final drive back to Zurich in the early evening. The coach has free WiFi for the journey, and a professional guide travels with the group the whole way, narrating in English, Spanish or German depending on which departure you book.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and German.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 15 years); Infant (under 6): free.

What is the Titlis Cliff Walk like?

The Titlis Cliff Walk is a suspension bridge at Europe's highest altitude, strung across a gap in the glacier. It's one of four attractions included in your two hours at the summit, and the views into the crevasses below are part of what makes the high altitude stop worth the time.

Will there be snow when I visit Mount Titlis?

Yes. The altitude of 3,020 meters guarantees snow and ice year-round, so you'll see the glacier and walk on permanent snow no matter what season you travel in.

How long do I spend on top of Mount Titlis?

You have two full hours at the summit. That time includes access to all four attractions: the Glacier Grotto, Titlis Cliff Walk, Ice Flyer chairlift and Fun Lift snow tubing (May–September), plus time to eat or rest at one of the restaurants up there.

What is the Rotair gondola?

The Rotair is the world's first revolving gondola. During the 40-minute cable car ride from Engelberg up to the summit, the cabin rotates a full 360 degrees, so you see the Alps and the valley from every direction without moving from your seat.

How much time do I spend in Lucerne?

The tour includes roughly one hour in Lucerne on the return journey to Zurich. That's enough time to walk the old town, see the lake or sit at a café, but not enough for a full exploration of the city.

Is food included in the tour?

Food and drinks are not included in the tour price. However, several restaurants operate at the summit of Mount Titlis, and you have two hours there to eat or drink if you choose to.
