Majestic Alps

5.00The pickup site for the tour bus was easy to find and the ride to and from Engelberg from Lucern was without an hitch. Mt. Titlist is an amazing place to visit especially if you love snow and panoramic views of natural beauty. The views from the gondola and rotair to the summit were spectacular! And watching the skiers “bravely” wind down the slopes was awe-inspiring. At 75 years of age, I unfortunately had to skip the sledding, but having the clouds part for views of the majestic cliffs while on the suspension bridge will be an everlasting memory. Even though it was a beautiful sunny day, a hat, scarf and warm jacket were needed at the top. Being 10,000 ft high on a mountain in the Alps was an experience of a lifetime! Do it!

5.00Magnificent excursion to Titlis. It's very worth it, spectacular. We were very lucky to have a spring day (25/02/2026), clear and sunny. To make the best use of the time bring snacks and take it at the Lucerne stop. Magnificent organization, explanations and help at all times from Adela, Victor and great driver Felipe.

3.00It was really cool to see the top of the mountain but I don't think it was worth money with the construction on the top of Mount Titlis. The guides were great when we did interact but their involvement was minimal. The glacier cave is not as blue as the picture and had a cave in so only half the cave was accessible. The ice flyer shut down while we were on the top so we couldn't ride it. There were many attractions within the top shut down due to the tower they are building on the top of the mountain. We ended up spending the majority of our time eating overpriced spaghetti.
Great stays and place.
