Around The World

From Zurich to Titlis, there are tours operated by companies like Viators, Greyline, City-discovery etc at 146CHF. They bring you to Lake Lucerne, the Lion monument, and followed by some free time of 1+ hour in Lucerne. It is quite a rush in Lucerne. After the bus ride and travelling, the stay in Mount Titlis is effectively only 2 hours and you have to head back to join the tour thereafter or risk spending the night in the mountains. It depends whether you are interested to see Lucerne/have seen Lucerne. Would be great for first timer being able to see a variety of sights. If you are thinking of spending more time in the mountains, hiking, doing flower trails, or other mountainous activities, it would be better to take a train down to Engelberg and head up the mountains on a self-exploration trip. Moreover, the timing wise is much more flexible.

The surrounding looks like this.





The ride is pretty steep and those who are afraid of heights should face the upward direction. Occasionally, the cable car ride bumps and ear block happens but it is totally fine.


3) Board the next cable car - Titlis Roatair - it is a rotating cable car.


Be greeted by an illuminated glacier cave from the entrance within the cable car station. Walking up the steps would lead to the top of the mountain.


 Walking forward would be the chairlift station. It cost 12 CHF for a return chair lift ride.





 It's pretty fun hanging on the chair with legs dangling in the midair. It's a safe ride with safety bars locking your body in, a slow ride down the mountain to Glacier Park. Meanwhile, just enjoy the once in a lifetime mountain view!







 Take the chairlift back up and just nice it stops right outside the start of the suspension bridge cliff walk.



Heading back down to civilisation via the same way as previously.


Along the way on the cable car ride, it was low enough to spot some cows living amongst the grazes. The most natural way of living not bounded by barriers and cages.

Rows of beautifully grown Lavender flowers planted for harvesting in a few weeks time. I was lucky to witness the full bloom  of Lavenders.
