Mount Titlis is a fun day trip from Lucerne that involves far less travel time compared to Jungfrau. The resort is 35 km away from Lucerne. It's best to buy tickets in advance. If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, then train tickets to Engelberg are included.
How to reach Mount Titlis from Lucerne
- Start your trip by taking a train from Lucerne to Engelberg.
The journey lasts 45 minutes.
- From Engelberg, take a gondola 'TitlisXpress' from Titlis Valley Station to Stand. There is a mid-station Trübsee, you should not get down here on the way up. On the way back, though, if you have time, you can get down here for exciting summer activities like snow tubing and rowing on Lake Trübsee.
- From Stand, a revolving cable car 'Titlis Rotair' takes you to Mount Titlis. This is the first ever revolving cable car in the world that revolves as it moves up to give a 360-degree panorama.

5 Fun Things to Do at Mount Titlis
- Titlis Cliff Walk
The 1 m wide and 100 m long suspension bridge is the highest in Europe. It's thrilling to walk on but you need nerves of steel to do so. Children can do the cliff walk. Included in the ticket.
- Glacier Cave
The ice in the cave never melts and the view inside is breathtakingly beautiful. Included in the ticket.
- Ice Flyer
The open-chair flyer flies over the glacier and gives a splendid view of the scenery below. Included in the ticket.
- Glacier Park
Thrilling activities like snow tubing and sledging on the snow add to the charm of this beautiful nature park.
- Adventure Park
You cannot miss the Adventure Park if you're travelling with kids. There are regular adventure sports like Trampoline and Bag Jump Tower but on snow! You can relax about the safety of your kids since there are trained personnel to ensure their safety. Included in the ticket.
Apart from this, there are shops for souvenirs, eateries and even a photo studio.
Tips to Remember -
1. The ticket price includes most of the activities at the top. So, keep your ticket secure.
2. Always dress in layers. As you go uphill, the weather might change dramatically. Keep gloves handy for kids to play in the snow.
3. The glacier park is massive with steep slopes. Wear shoes with a good foothold to avoid slipping on the slope. I faced this problem since my shoe would not stay on the snowy slope.
4. Wear sunglasses. The pristine white snow on a sunny day can have a blinding effect.
5. Mount Titlis is a full-day tour. Many tours might claim to do it in half a day but that can be extremely tiring if you have kids with you.
Mount Titlis is a friendly, fun park and an absolute not-to-miss attraction in Switzerland and it's value for money. So, don't miss it!
