Mt Titlis is a spectacular mountain viewpoint near Lucerne, , a popular tourist destination all year round. Since Titlis has a glacier, you can play in the snow and sled even in summer.

Open: year round

Conditions: Titlis Website • Titlis Weather

Starting in the picturesque town Engelberg, you ride a small gondola car halfway up the mountain. Then transfer to the world’s first revolving aerial cableway up to the Titlis glacier at 3020m.

At the top, you’ll find a large snowy plateau to explore, a long suspension bridge to cross, and ice tunnels to explore. There are also indoor restaurants with big panorama windows, so you can warm up and still enjoy the scenery.

Planning your day

I suggest planning about 2-3 hours this outing. If you need more activities to fill out your day, we suggest stopping at the Trübsee middle station and do the easy walk around the lake, which has a theme trail and large playground.

There are restaurants at the top, but we prefer to eat at the Trübsee middle station because the kids can spill out to the playground.

Since this attraction is open year round, this is a great choice for early spring and late fall when trails may be closed due to snow.

Should you go?

We like to take our visitors here instead of the Jungfraujoch, because closer to Zurich and half the price (still expensive though) with mostly the same features.

It's an impressive mountain and very fun. But it's also very expensive and a popular tourist destination. If you don't like crowds and want a more authentic Swiss experience, better to choose something like Fürenalp, another mountain in the Engelberg area.
