Highlights

Titlis Rotair cable car

The gondola cable car rotates its way up towards the snow-covered summit of Titlis. The world's first revolving gondola transports you from the middle station at Stand up to the mountain station at 3,020m above sea level. The gondola revolves 360 degrees during the five-minute trip, treating you to idyllic panoramic views of steep rock faces, deep crevasses and distant snow-covered mountain peaks.

Cliff Walk

This is Europe's highest suspension bridge at 3,041m above sea level, 500m off the ground. From the Titlis summit, the route leads you through an underground tunnel and on to the viewing platform at the south wall window. The suspension bridge stretches from here to the Ice Flyer glacier chair lift station. The Cliff Walk is one metre wide and 100 metres long and the views into the abyss below are breathtaking! 

Please note: the suspension bridge will be closed in bad weather. The underground tunnel is closed in winter.

The Ice Flyer

The chair lift sweeps you smoothly and safely over crisp, virgin snow fields and icy depths. Look down for spectacular views: some of the crevasses are up to ten metres deep. Only here on Titlis can you expect such a fantastic glacier experience. In the summer months, the Ice Flyer will transport you to the snow park up on the glacier.  

Glacier Park

All kinds of fun snow activities await you May-July at the glacier park. Whizz down the snow on the fun minibobs and let the magic carpet conveyor belt whisk you back to the top. Snowtubing is the ultimate experience as you skim over the glistening snow on a rubber tyre. Sit or lie down and spin in full circles several times before reaching the end of exhilarating ride. Free entry. 

Glacier cave

The frosty heart of Titlis where the ice dates from pre-historic times. The cave's 150m long walkway descends 20m below the surface. The hazy atmosphere is the result of tiny air pockets in the ice, and the blue colour is caused by the refraction of light. The temperature inside the cave remains a frosty -1.5°C. The cave can be easily accessed via a corridor from the Rotair mountain station. Free entry.  

Stotzig Egg

From the Rotair mountain station, it is only a short walk through the fluffy white snow to the vantage point at Stotzig Egg. From here, you can look forward to spectacular views of the nearby and distant peaks that make up the Central Swiss Alps. In good weather, you can even see as far as the Bernese Oberland, the mountains of Valais region and Schwarzwald. You will feel on top of the world.

Photo studio

Don traditional Swiss costumes and accessorise with an Alphorn or Swiss accordion. The photographer will then take your photo with Mount Titlis in the background. Your photo will be ready in just three minutes - an unforgettable memory of your trip.

Swiss Lion shop

The world's highest watch shop.This specialist shop at the top of Titlis stocks a wide range of fine watches from renowned Swiss brands.
