For storytellers

Why Mount Titlis matters

From the monastery village of Engelberg, a series of cable cars lifts you to Titlis, including one with a rotating cabin. At the top you can walk onto the glacier, cross a hanging suspension bridge and play in the snow, even in summer. It is an easy way to experience a high-altitude world.

Talking points

  • The Rotair cabin turns slowly as you climb.
  • A glacier cave and suspension bridge are among the attractions.
  • Snow is possible all year.
