Your journey begins at Zurich Bus Station, where you’ll meet your driver-guide and set off towards the heart of Central Switzerland. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Swiss countryside as you make your way to Lucerne.
After one hour on the road, arrive in Lucerne, a captivating city situated in the heart of Switzerland. Its breathtaking location on the shores of Lake Lucerne, surrounded by the majestic Swiss Alps, makes it a destination of unparalleled natural beauty. Steeped in history, Lucerne's Old Town is a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings, boutique shops, and inviting cafes. Whether leisurely strolling along the lake promenade, marveling at the views from the historic city walls, or immersing oneself in the vibrant cultural scene, Lucerne offers a perfect blend of old-world charm, natural splendor, and modern amenities, ensuring an unforgettable experience for visitors from around the globe.
Step back in time as you cross the iconic Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), admire its centuries-old painted panels and discover the historic Water Tower rising beside the river.
From Lucerne, continue towards Engelberg, the gateway to Mount Titlis. As the landscape gradually changes from lakeside scenery to dramatic Alpine peaks, you’ll feel the Swiss Alps getting closer. Arrive in the charming Alpine village of Engelberg, nestled at around 1,000 metres above sea level and surrounded by impressive mountain peaks. Here, your ascent to the eternal snow of Mount Titlis begins. Board the cable car and rise above the valley, watching the landscape transform from lush green meadows to a spectacular world of snow, glaciers and towering Alpine peaks.
Enjoy a break at Trübsee, the first station on the Titlis Xpress journey from Engelberg, and take in the spectacular Alpine scenery surrounding you. Nestled high in the mountains, Trübsee offers a peaceful escape from the valley and a chance to experience the beauty of the Swiss Alps in every season. Take a leisurely stroll around the area, capture some memorable photographs, and enjoy the breathtaking mountain views. Depending on the season and weather conditions, you can also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking and rowing on one of Switzerland’s most beautiful mountain lakes, or having fun at the sledding park and gliding down the snowy slopes. From Trübsee, continue your ascent towards the eternal snow of Mount Titlis.
Continue your ascent to Mount Titlis aboard the renowned Titlis Rotair, the world’s first revolving cable car. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views as the cabin slowly rotates, revealing spectacular Alpine scenery from every angle. At the summit, step into a magical winter wonderland surrounded by snow-covered peaks and breathtaking mountain landscapes.
At the summit, explore a spectacular world of eternal snow and ancient glaciers. If open and weather conditions permit, venture into the fascinating Glacier Cave, carved deep into the ice, and discover the mesmerising blue hues of this frozen world.
For the adventurous, the Cliff Walk offers an exhilarating experience, with Europe’s highest suspension bridge providing breathtaking views of the surrounding alpine landscape.
For an unforgettable alpine experience, hop aboard the Ice Flyer chairlift and glide above the glistening glacier. Enjoy spectacular views of the vast icy landscape as you take in the breathtaking beauty of this unique high-altitude setting.
After your Alpine adventure, meet your driver-guide in Engelberg for the return journey to Zurich. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your last mountain views as you make your way back to the city, bringing your unforgettable day in the Swiss Alps to an end.
Our tour was great & we had fun! The view was amazing and we were given enough time to see Lucerne & Mt. Titlis. Our guide, Ioanis (I hope I got his name right) was very informative. This tour was the highlight of our week spent in Switzerland.
We brought snow boots snd pants gor snowtubing because NOBODY warned us that the glacier park will be clised for yhe season; viator needs to be aware of that snd say it upfront in their tour descriptions. Instead, it still has it in their description. Luckily, our tour guide was interesting.
This Mount Titlis and Lucerne day trip from Zurich was an amazing way to experience Switzerland in one day. We started with a scenic stop in Lucerne, with time to explore the charming old town, before continuing to Engelberg. The rotating cable car ride to Mount Titlis offered incredible panoramic views, and the Ice Flyer chairlift over the glacier was a standout experience. Crossing Europe’s highest suspension bridge was thrilling, and the snow tubing added a fun, memorable touch. Our tour guide, Thanasis, was great — knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us additional Recommendations for our stay in Zurich. 10/10 tour and highly recommend!
Don't waste your money or time by booking this tour. There is no tour or any information given. You are shuttled to Lucerne and given a pick up time. You see the city on your own with no help. Then you are shuttled to Mt. Titlus where again you are given zero information. You should book a train, bus or taxi and save your money. Our driver John talked on the phone for multiple hours instead of talking to us. He also added stops to pick up other people and drop them off extending the drive time and shortening our time to visit attractions. Bc of this we missed the lion statue and rushed the Mt. Very disappointing. This "tour" is expensive but you only get the transport and Mt. Titlus ticket. Totally not worth it.
Look, ultimately these guys are chauffeuring you about and arranging a ticket up the mountain. But they facilitated an absolutely magical day for us and made the various steps very clear. It helped take the stress out of the day. We really cannot recommend this tour enough. My face is hurting from laughing. Plus we were treated to a bizarre but lovely musical treat on our way home. Mount Titlis was magnificent, we got the gold ice flyer option, and didn’t regret it but our favourite part aside from the truly breathtaking views was the mini tabbogans (in place of snowtubing) absolutely brilliant fun! Although hubby lamented not having the rubber rings. We found the ice cave pretty underwhelming to be honest. Just a tip, if you’re on limited funds, take a packed lunch, the food is eyewateringly expensive!
The driver dropped you off 10 minutes away from the city center in an industrial area in Lucerne. 😡 Then when we arrived at the mountain the activity we paid for was closed. On the bus the bathroom was broken . So I wouldn’t recommend this trip
The excursion was lovely, but negatively impacted by the weather (several things closed at the top of Mt Titlas because of the wind). The time in Lucerne was great - the driver gave us a quick orientation for where things were then set us free to explore. The drive between Lucern and Mt Titlas was especially beautiful. The things we could do at the mountain were great. The gondola rides were beautiful, the ice cavern was fun and we had a lovely meal at the restaurant. I would definitely consider this excursion again, although would probably wait to the last minute to book until I have a better idea of the weather.
They were at an easy location for pick up and drop off. The driver and assistant was very informative- gave us maps, made sure we knew where to meet once we were let go to enjoy the town and MT Titlis. Bus was very clean. And there was plenty of time! Something that usually bothers me because we feel rushed on other tours. Great, great, great!!! 5 Stars. Use this tour.
The excursion to Mt Titlis was absolutely fabulous! We were lucky to have such great weather and I would highly recommend an excursion to anyone travelling to Switzerland. We enjoyed our few hours we were able to spend in Lucerne as well. The reason I did not give this a five star, was because of the substandard transportation that we ended up going in, and the fact that the company added a few extra stops to pick up people along the way for other excursions, which was not initially planned, which made our day extra long. Our excursion was supposed to be nine hours. It took almost 11 before we got home. I had spoken to the operator the night before so that we could make dinner reservations when we returned in the evening, and despite him assuring me, we would be back by six, we did not get back until well after seven, which made us late for our reservations. The bus should have taken the group of 30 people directly from Zürich to the mountain and then back, but unfortunately, we had to stop in Lucerne, during rush-hour traffic which caused extreme delay, and drop a few people off that we had picked up along the way. This was not in the initial plan, and inconvenienced everyone in our group. The bus was an older coach bus, but did not have a bathroom, did not have charging ports, had no working task lights at the seats, and no Wi-Fi. We paid almost $300 per person so I would’ve at least expected a bus with some more amenities. Our travel time to and from the mountain was two hours each way, and we had some young children on our bus so a restroom would have been expected given the high cost of this excursion Had we been on a higher quality bus that was perhaps more modern, and had we not done a milk run by picking extra people up and dropping them off on our way home, I would’ve given this five stars. I did contact Viator these concerns two days ago, but never heard back
This was one amazing experience! The views were breathtaking on top of the mountain! I am so glad we went!
The views were spectacular! Also, the tour guide was so easy to understand, and there was a decent amount of time at each stop. I highly recommend this tour!!! Do NOT miss the ice Flyer views!
It was fun and our bus left on time. John, our driver was a great driver! He also explained to us our timeline and gave us pointers so we can fully enjoy our time in Lucerne and at Mt. Titlis’ summit. We did the ice flier, cliff walk and went through the ice cave! Got some ice cream and had time to sit down and enjoy a light lunch at the restaurant. The pumpkin soup was delicious and French fries were yummy. It was a great and enjoyable experience!
Stefanos gave basic info, nothing special. He was cordial but only offered info when asked. The drop off at town center was not very helpful.
If you love chocolate, this place to go one of the few places where you get to taste the product to the full extent
The weather was not on our side the day of our excursion but we still had a really great day. The Swiss Tours tour guides Tony and Savas (forgive my spelling) were great. There was humor and lots of information provided on the history of places we visited. It was a long day and lots of driving but the route is very scenic and worth it. At Mt Titlis we were unable to do a few of the activities due to weather but the cable car rides alone were a lot of fun. Was happy to know we’d get refunded for certain activities if not available. Overall highly recommend this excursion.
This trip was outstanding! The tour company from the start went out of the way to pick us up at our hotel and we really appreciated this for the early morning start. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide was great. We stopped in the City of Lucerne first. Absolutely beautiful and worth the time. We then traveled to the Alps and what an experience. Surrounded by skiers and amazing.....I mean amazing views. All rides to the top of the mountain included. We can not say it enough this was worth every dollar and the time flew by. We recommend this tour to anyone and everyone that is in the area. We just wish the country of Switzerland would be financially more reasonable to visit. Everything is so dumb expensive and we don't mind splurging.
