Titlis

What will I see?

A cable car with a twist - emblazoned with the Swiss cross on its underside, the "Rotair" revolving gondola turns around its own axis as it floats over the glacier towards the Titlis. The top section of the Titlis cableway is spectacular; the Titlis Xpress runs from Engelberg via the Trübsee lake and directly to the Stand transfer station.

On the summit views can be enjoyed over the Engelberg Valley, Pilatus, Stanserhorn, Rigi, and the Uri Rotstock; Gotthard- region and across to the Rheinwaldhorn, Susten Pass region, Finsteraarhorn and Wetterhorn.
