Mt Titlis Cable Car From Engelberg With Ice Flyer

Visited mid-September, whilst major construction was taking place. The main rail line into Engelberg was shut and buses were in place instead (fair, this was pre planned). Engleberg is a lovely town to visit ! Great shops and small cafes. The price to ascend Titlis does not currently match the experience. The rotair gondolas are shut and there’s 1 single and very packed cable car doing trips to the summit. The summit is a construction site. Cranes across the summit points and many walkways closed etc. lots of hoarding at the summit building. The new tower experience is really good but incredibly expensive. £60 for 3 coffees and 2 cakes. I would avoid this attraction until the site is fully constructed or ticket prices are dropped.

This was the first thing we did in Switzerland that we felt like we really got scammed. The ~$125 ticket includes literally nowhere to take in the views from the top that’s not either closed for construction, behind construction netting, in a walkway, or for an additional fee. The glacier walk was the only thing open at the top; the cliff walk was partially closed and completely packed. The rotatairs are closed so transit is a packed large gondola. There’s nowhere to look at the mountains at all, inside or out; the temporary snack shop faces construction equipment. It is worth it to go halfway, to the lake— it’s a beautiful walk with great views.

Good Views, But Not the Best Time to Visit Mount Titlis is undoubtedly a beautiful destination with breathtaking alpine scenery, and I don't regret visiting. However, I felt a little unfortunate with the timing of my trip. The TITLIS Rotair was not operating, which was disappointing as it's one of the mountain's signature attractions. There was also significant construction work underway across the summit area, which affected the overall experience. In addition, the Glacier Cave was closed, leaving relatively few activities available apart from the Ice Flyer and Cliff Walk. I was also surprised that access to the Horizon Deck required an additional charge, despite already paying for the journey to the top. However, one pleasant discovery was that at the entrance to the Horizon Deck, you can visit the Rolex Boutique free of charge. Even if you're not in the market for a luxury watch, it's worth stepping inside to admire the impressive watch collection and enjoy a wonderful elevated view over the Titlis valley from slightly higher up. That said, the highlight of our day came on the way back. A helpful ticket lady at Lucerne Station suggested that we stop at Trübsee, and we're so glad we took her advice. Trübsee turned out to be the best part of our visit. The stunning lake, mountain scenery, and peaceful atmosphere made for a far more enjoyable experience than the summit itself. In hindsight, we wish we had spent even more time there. The scenery at Mount Titlis is still spectacular, but with several attractions unavailable and construction ongoing, I felt I wasn't able to experience it at its best. I only wish I had visited at another time, once the construction and upgrades are completed, as I'm sure the overall experience would be much more enjoyable and offer better value for money.

It was Amazing and unforgettable experience. Snow capped mountains, cable car and a view of falls an natural lakes, mind blowing.

Beautiful and fun day! I think a lot of the snow was gone because of the warm weather The scenery was amazing!

Visited here on the morning on June-25, 2026. Saw blue flags atop poles leading to it advertising Titlis to be #thepeaktobe. This entire experience is an ~7 min walk from the Terrace hotel in Engleberg. After crossing a bridge across a steam, we entered the entrance complex and took a black coloured cable car/ gondola ride passing multiple cows feeding on the pastures in the valley below then alighted to find Schmuggli - the grey mule mascot before boarding a 2nd cable car ride passing by the bluest ponds & icy white glaciers atop the dark brown cliffs. Then boarded the red coloured Titlis rotair & finally reached the glacier plateau. Next was the ice flyer ride leading to the snow tubing area where I snow tubed twice. Over here you can ask the attendants / staff to spin your tube just before sliding down. Then rode the ice flyer back again for the cliff walk and finally explored the ice grotto which has ice sculptures inside & is maintained at negative temperatures. Since we visited during the Western Europe summer heatwave period, we didn't need any thermals or jackets whatsoever & some women in my group were also able to make it with knee length dresses! Finally reverse commuted all the way out. The most commercialised peak I've visited.

We have done almost everything around Luzern but hadn't been here. We were put off by the crowds and building work. We had bought a Lucerne Pass so this trip was 'free' so we decided to come by train to Engelbert but at lunchtime to avoid the crowds. This worked very well as when we arrived we were amongst only a handful of other visitors. We got our cable cars straight away and were quickly at the summit. We did the ice cave, the cliff walk and suspension bridge but didn't do the ice flyer. We also went to the top of the tower which gives the best views. There was cloud above us but the views down and to the distant mountains were clear. Unfortunately there is building work until 2029 so once you leave the ground station don't expect many facilities. The signage is also poor. We did manage to walk across snow and I definitely felt the thinner air in my breathing. I really enjoyed the visit but I preferred the experience of going up other mountains more. There were a couple of large groups who slightly detracted from the experience as well.

I recommend not booking this excursion.As the operator is not honest or transparent. We were in touch the day before and a few times the morning of the excursion. Once I arrived at Mount Titlis, i was informed that the Ice Flyer Chair Lift and the suspension bridge were both closed but the operator never informed me of this , even after multiple communications. I then requested a partial, 40% refund , because half of the excursions included in the package , I was unable to participate in. They denied a partial refund. This is a horrible dishonest operator so I would stay away.It is not worth the money. It is a waste of money.

Lovely ski hut and mountain station with great food. Outstanding customer service: the friendly staff not only made the restaurant experience great, but also went above and beyond by quickly locating forgotten personal items and sending them to my home free of charge.

Glad we decided to head up despite the fact we didn't ski. Headed up on the cable car and the views were incredible. There is a tubing area and restaurants. We recommend heading up to the peak. There is a cafeteria style restaurant, afull service option and a snack/gift shop. The ice cave was entertaining. Obviously appropriate dress is necessary. But also make sure to wear appropriate shoes. The surface is icy and people were slipping and sliding every where. The Ice flyer and suspension bridge was fun as well

Mount Titlis — very disappointing experience. Definitely not worth the time or money. Once you reach the top, there is very little to do — the entire walk takes no more than 15–20 minutes. The worst part is the waiting time: around one hour just to go up and another hour to come back down. What makes this even more frustrating is that no one warns you in advance about these massive queues — not during ticket purchase and not on site. Spending two hours standing in lines for such a short and underwhelming experience feels completely unreasonable. Overall, the place is overcrowded and poorly managed for the number of visitors. I would not recommend this experience.

Booking with Viator is so easy and convenient and I would highly recommend to visit Mt Titlis, Switzerland

This is my 3rd visit to this attraction. This is a must visit when visiting the country . Purchased tickets that transfers from gondola then the ice flyer. While there was poor visibility since it rained during our visit , can’t help noticing the ongoing repair and rehabilitation . It said it is 218 more days. Almost a year. Anyway we had a snowfall experience which is good.

The views right from Lucerne to engelberg and then to Titlis is superb. Best to visit on sunny days. Better to avoid during cloudy days as you may not enjoy the views. Giving 3 star rating as the rotaair is a marketing ploy, nothing great about it in that short ride. The ice flyer costs extra which is not worth the price as it's a very short ride. You can experience ice flyer at other places even for free (included in city travel pass). The ice flyer or chair lift is available in other areas of Switzerland like st moritz (much longer rides) and even in Austria. Otherwise an amazing experience to the top. Glacier cave and the Titlis sky walk are good experiences. Amazing views all the way.

Queue to get onto the first train stage was 1 1/2 hours. There are then 3 further Gondola stages = 2 1/2 hours to get to the top. There are major works in progress with the view obscured by cranes and scaffolding in all directions. We thought we would escape to the mountain walk and suspension bridge but access to these was closed due to downwash from delivery helicopters. The fact that this attraction is still open during these works and they are charging 102 Francs is nothing short of scandalous. There were no signs to explain the extent of the works and no seating anywhere except the very expensive restaurant.

It was a great experience, we arrived 15 minutes prior to opening and entry was quick. It was getting crowded when we were exiting about 3 hours later

Beautiful location to visit and beautiful in route travel to enjoy with family and friends.A must-visit place when you are in Switzerland.

A great time. Beautiful town and a few quick steps to Mt Titlis. Bus if you choose not to walk was waiting. Beautiful way to see snow in the summer and the inside of a glacier. Restaurant was amazingly good.

I had found researching Titlis and all the options quite confusing, so this was our experience: We parked in the Titlis car park, around 700m out of Engelberg (near the train station) and marked with blue/white flags. Parking cost us 6 CHF for around 6 hours. We arrived at 8.40 and were glad that we had arrived so early - no queue for tickets. We had the Half Fare Card so paid 102 CHF for two adults (and free for our 15 year old). Use the toilets opposite the ticket desks as these were empty ( compared with the toilets near the little snack bar that had throngs of tourists freshly off coaches). First step is the gondola up. Lots and lots of them so not much waiting. You soon head into cloud, but can hear cow bells which is nice. You can get off at Trubsee which is the first stop, but stay on to go to Titlis. Everyone has to get off at the second stop, where you switch to the Rotair. Don’t get stuck in the middle - you’ll see nothing! The Rotair does one slow revolution before reaching the top (only ten minutes) but, in cloud, you won’t see much. At the top, there is the whole Titlis complex, but it is not flowing very well with all the building work. You have no option but to flow through the Glacier Cave, then the Cliff Walk, then the optional Ice Flyer (extra charge of 12CHF adults, 6 CHF child) at the end. In cloud, the Cliff Walk is just cold and wet and grey. Much the same for the Ice Flyer, though we did get a few glimpses of the glacier beneath us. In cloud, the only thing truly worth doing was the Glacier Cave. When we arrived about 9.30, we had it to ourselves and it was very nice. However, after we had walked through, been on the Cliff Walk (nothing to see) and then reached a dead end because of building work, we had to walk back through the Glacier Cave to get out. By then it was rammed with people off coaches and was unpleasant to walk through as there was only a guide rail on one side - clearly this was never designed for two-way traffic. There really isn’t a lot to do at the top. We killed some time in the cafe with a view of cloud, occasionally diggers and joists. Headed down the cable car and got off at Trubsee because you can break your journey on the way down at no extra cost. Still cloudy which meant the lake looked bleak and grey, but you could tell that, on a sunny day, this would be an AMAZING place for families - lots of interesting benches, fire pits with free wood so you can cook food for yourself, toilets, cows with cowbells, walks and short walks signposted, free pillow-jump, zip line (pay), hammocks, excellent playground etc. On a sunny day, this would have been an awesome day but, cloudy, it left us a bit flat. Glacier Cave nice if you go early, treacherous if not.

The coach there and back was great. I wish we had more time in Lucerne. Titlis was very well organised but once we hit the top of the mountain it was like a construction site. We also had lots of clouds so didn’t really have a great view. Beautiful town and the fish and chips at the end were yummy.

Undoubtedly fabulous views and snowy vistas from the top, and scenic lake walks at the halfway cable car stop. We read the previous reviews and despite the negativity, decided to give it a try, as we feel we are pretty easy going. It is absolutely true that the top is a huge building site, which somewhat spoils the views in one direction. They are redeveloping the entire area for tourism purposes and it’s currently covered in jcb’s and diggers. It will look amazing (if you like lots of facilities at natural sites) when done… apparently 2029 finish. It is also true that apparently it has been used in Bollywood films and seems to be somewhat of a ‘pilgrimage’ for the Indian culture. The visitors seemed to be mostly Indian, large family groups, very excited. There are Indian restaurants and notices how to use the toilets in a Western fashion. We were a little surprised at the level of involvement but understand that it is a big tourist draw and must be very profitable. We are glad we saw it, but if you are looking for a natural environment there are probably other places…

Disappointed and frustrated. Mount Titlis is under heavy construction with all rides shut, yet there was no prior warning at the ticket counter. We were left stranded with no refunds despite the cancellations due to thunderstorms. The site is chaotic, unsafe, and not worth visiting until 2029. Avoid until construction is complete.

Beautiful mountain with experience of cable car and scenery and bridge. Nice indian restaurant above and nice sovernie shop

This is a must do day out if in the area! So much to do and see. Recommend going straight to the top doing the ice flyer and cliff walk then you can work your way down the mountain and the activities. As of weather changes they do shut early. Only thing I was say is this is NOT a tour it’s simply tickets so you do still need to line up as if you are purchasing tickets outright and redeem your Viator ticket with mountain pass. This was a long line.. All in all was a 10/10 day and really trumped Mt Pilatus in Lucerne on activities and also price

I would like to begin with the view was amazing, the scenery is breath taking and it’s a absolutely beautiful summit. My concerns begin with the tourism that comes here alongside the safety standards of the staff! I was greeted by bus loads of Indian tourists, which I was a bit excited for in all honesty, it was great to see them out and about in Switzerland especially since it’s so different to there home country. They would be able to experience snow etc. I was shortly absolutely rocked by their behaviour, which I can understand to a degree. There is no personal space, shoving, pushing, screaming. We were in an elevator we got to a floor and both doors on either side opened, 17 people flooded into the elevator from both sides squishing my girlfriend and I against a wall. In my 30 years alive I have never been over whelmed in an elevator. When it came time to leave, they flooded the exit gates, jumping over fences, cutting lines, suitcases yes suitcases being swung into our legs and tripping us over. They shoved us to the side constantly. Not once did anyone apologise or feel anyway about their behaviour. In Switzerland behaviour is held at a high standard, so I obviously looked to the staff to correct at least some of this behaviour as I do understand it’s a significant location to the Indian culture and there behaviour is the norm at home. The staff did absolutely nothing, they didn’t even try to make it easy for anyone that was not of Indian decent. It’s obvious that the staff are protecting their businesses interest as they come in bus loads daily. But for someone that is from Switzerland the behaviour felt extremely dangerous, when I say we where in a 5x5 metre room and there was about 30-40 of us packed in like sardines with pushing from the back and pushing from the front please understand this is no exaggeration. I would advise upon entry if you see bus loads of Indians, turn around and go somewhere else. Extremely disappointed in the staff.

Amazing very well organised set up with amazing views en rout to the top. Glacier cave a great experience and watching skiers close at hand great to see. Restaurants offering a very cosmopolitan range of food with very international clientele.

Worst treatment ever Inspite of having lunch vouchers was not provided by the exchange office …. No help rendered by panorama restaurant not even talking or bothered to answer Wasted our travel time we need to be compensated as we had to go back to take our lunch coupons which we had already paid for which should have been given to us firstly Wasted our 3 hours where we could have enjoyed the activities we were trying to figure out where to get our food from

Active movement and transfers between activities. Many things to see and do even if you are not skiing. I do not recommend am taking little children. I loved taking my teenager. The views were amazing. Loved the ski lift ride and glacier cave. Daughter loved snow tube and ice cream.

Found those old pictures (maybe 20 years ago)on the computer and wanted to share them with you guys."

Amazing experience.... get ready to touch the clouds and enjoy a wonderful view, highly recommend. Worth the time there.

Unfortunately the most unfriendly place I have been in Switzerland so far. We are not even in high season, the staff talks with you as if you were their stepsister... Never again

this was a fabulous excursion, definitely worth every penny! the cable car was amazing. I highly recommend this, just get there early, so you have plenty of time to do everything...The glacier cave & tubing was super fun. Make to stop off for Swiss chocolate ice cream & Shrimp tom yon ramen, so delicious : )

In Switzerland and if you do not visit, you miss a spectacular place and beauty. Presently there are renovations going on but still lot to see and enjoy. Very romantic place and a awesome journey.

We did this trip in September 2024. It is a self-managed trip and advice to all travellers to get there early to avoid the crowds. For us, Ice flyer was the best and the cliff walk was very exciting. We enjoyed the trip very much and were lucky enough to experience everything just before the weather got really bad. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Took the full day tour leaving from Zurich HB, easy to find the meeting point and travelled on a comfortable coach with great tour guide(Lars). Stopped off in Lucerne for a short time before continuing on to Englesberg. The chairlift experience was awesome a ever, suggest taking a jumper. The food on my Titlis is super expensive and suggest take plenty of snacks. Definitely add this tour to the list.....

All of it was really good fantastic scenery the ice flyer was the best part, the weather was good so we could see for miles. The food and service in the restaurant was good and the price was reasonable.

Ice Flyer is a must do…. Being an Indian and lover of Shahrukh Khan movies, visiting this place was a no brainer….. I am grateful that i got to visit with my newly wedded wife….

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t the greatest so everything was closed except for the ice cave which was very unique. We were disappointed that we were not able to see the suspension bridge or ice flyer. I wouldn’t recommend this trip if the weather isn’t clear.

Go early for less crowds, Amazing experience and great operation, amazing views and good services, would def rtn

We were there once again...One of many things we will remember for rest of our lives!!! Beautiful surroundings, a few good things to do. Ice flyer was good, and cliff walk was amazing. As it was fall,it wasn't that freezing..Thnk god it was a very clear weather,u(nlike we had in Paris couple of days ago,drizzled all the way)ry cold, Lucky us. Amazing place to visit.

No problem getting tickets with the voucher. Best day with unbelievable views. We got there about 10.30am and while it was busy, it wasn’t too bad and still had our own space. So glad we did this.

Ice flyer ski lift ride was somewhat an adventure specially because at the time we were there it was very misty with low clouds. Before we embarked, we could only spot the ski lift chairs disappearing in to the clouds and the returning chairs appearing through a haze. It was indeed a thrill to vanish into the clouds and a moment of Adrenaline rush due to the unclear picture or the journey to be undertaken was left for imagination. It was not clear where we were really going but new that we will be back the same way. The entire circuit was hidden in the mist. It was a memorable experience as during the ride we were able to see the terrain from where there were clear patches and of course it was short lived as few moments later we were again engulfed by the mist. It was also the best way to feel the cold at Mt. Titlis with the exposure to the wind.

DO NOT BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE ON THE WEB. DO NOT BUY TICKETS AT THE GROUND STATION UNTIL YOU HAVE CONFIRMED BOTH THE CABLE CAR AND THE GONDOLA ARE RUNNING. This is because Titlis will often close, allegedly because of the wind. If they close they have a no refund policy. Also, when closed, they don't go out of their way to make it obvious. if you ask "is the mountain open" they will say yes because it is open to the mid-station. you have to specifically ask " is the cable car to the summit running" to get a straight answer. They close a lot and I say allegedly because of the wind, because on the day we were there they decided to close at 11 am but the weather went on to be absolutely glorious. At the mid station people were sun baking and at the summit, what few clouds there were crawling across the sky. I wish could load the video The cable car ran all day running supplies up and you could watch its peaceful journey. But they kept it closed and took our money. I am sure they will say "oh it was still really windy at the top but you couldnt see it" Maybe. Or they made a bad call, started loading supplies and then didnt want to change plans back when they realized the weather was better than they thought (since they could keep the money anyway). So, dont pay a cent until you know for sure you are going to make it up.

The view is mesmerizing and captivating. The gondola ride was amazing and views are breathtaking. The rotating gondola experience is excellent as it gives you 360 degree view while going from one top to other. So many activities on the top to do. Overall a good experience.

We enjoyed the excursion. The ice cave was pretty cool as was the suspension walking bridge. Must do on a sunny day!

What an experience! The cliff walk and the ice flyer where unique experiences. The other peaks in Switzerland do not have these yet. The Rotair was good too. We reached late afternoon (delayed flight) but managed to do all activities.

Excellent experience, no hassle, wonderful location & view. Viator was easy to use & had great offers

Spectacular views. You'll want to have good shoes to navigate the ice, but the trip is well worth it. The rotating gondola is cool, but holds a lot of people. If you're in the middle, views are obstructed, so get by the glass. Stopping in Stand on the return trip and walking around the lake, or over to the mountain (mini waterfalls from melting snow) is definitely worth it.

Fantastic place. Has Indian restaurants. You need atleast 4 hours here. 2 to 3 on top and 1 hour by the lake. So make sure you reach before 1 pm.
