About this experience
This is an adventure excursion to the highest vantage point in central Switzerland! A pleasant ride on a comfortable deluxe motor coach takes us to the mountain resort of Engelberg in central Switzerland, where we board the aerial cableway for a 40 minute journey from the green valley to the high alpine glacier region at 3020 m/10000 ft. Enjoy the ride in the world’s ever first revolving gondola the 'Titlis Rotair' allowing 360 degrees view on a single trip. (This altitude guarantees snow the whole year round.)
During the 2 hours at the summit of Mount Titlis, enjoy the four spectacular attractions included (all weather dependent), such as:
- Glacier Grotto (touch the ice of the Glacier)
- Titlis Cliff Walk (Europe's highest suspension bridge)
- Fun Lift (snow tubing in the Glacier Park May-Sep)
- Ice Flyer (chairlift that offers view into deep glacier crevasses)
Several restaurants are at your disposal.
