We are taking you up to Mount Titlis, one of the most scenic destinations in Switzerland, high in the Swiss Alps.

The most exciting excursion out of Lucerne is to Mount Titlis where you can get a chance to frolic in the snow at the top of a mountain, guaranteed because it's a glacier, so there is snow all year round, throughout the summer throughout the winter and it just takes 2 hours to get from Lucerne up to the mountaintop. It is really a thrill to go up in the summer time and play because you wouldn't expect to run into snow on a warm summer day, but there it is, and it's very easy to get there. You take the scenic train from Lucerne on a one hour journey to Engelberg enjoying beautiful views of the mountains, farms and villages along the way.
Mount Titlis provides a spectacular view right into the heart of the Alps with the lofty peaks of the Jungfrau, Munch and Eiger visible in the distant Bernese Overland on a clear day, the Titlis viewing platform at 10,000 feet elevation has an elaborate multistoried restaurant, café and gift shop complex, along with ice cream snack bar and coffee bar out on the terrace in typical Swiss fashion. They have civilized this mountain and provided creature comforts while bringing you right into this wild natural environment.
Another activity while you're at the top of Mount Titlis is the glacier tunnel. It's an ice tunnel that they've carved right into the foundation of the glacier itself and there is colorful lighting inside. They have some ice sculptures inside and secure footing on a good rubber mat walkway and it's a lot of fun. You walk in the tunnel which goes around in a small loop circle. It just takes a few minutes but be sure to look for the ice grotto while you're up top.
One of the most exciting attractions is called the Cliff Walk. It's a pedestrian suspension bridge that gives you dramatic views looking all around, and even straight down 500 meters beneath your feet. It's claimed to be the highest suspension bridge in Europe and there is no extra charge for walking on it so by all means take advantage. It opened up at the end of 2012. It took them 5 months to build it and it has become a really popular attraction, sometimes called the world's scariest bridge.
For some more fun on the trip down you can get off the cable car at the next-to-last stop and rent a scooter to ride down the final mile. It is just a simple stand up foot scooter, you hold onto those handlebars with both hands and it's a wonderful ride that goes around zigzagging down on the road, which is at times a gravel road, a dirt road, but mostly it's a paved road. So it's really quite safe, quite fun. You’ve got good brakes with the scooter so you can slow down, you can stop, take a picture. Don't try and take any pictures while you're moving because you’ve got to keep both hands on the handlebars and wear that little protective helmet that comes with the rental. At the bottom you just leave the scooter in the pavilion and they will pick it up for you.

Amezing ❤❤
I'm Swiss man. I like the way u talk about my country. Is funny to see my world with your eyes! Thanks man 😃
I see it slightly different. But is cool. Thank you. Always welcome! 🤠
your trains are incredible
I have been there exactly 20x for skiing, its very beautiful, Titlis is often pretty crowded. I can imagine how calm Titlis is now without any chinese tourists
I've heard that they planned to replace the 80 pers. gondolas with larger 100 pers gondolas and even plan to refurbish the titlis station in the future and make the weather station/tower accessible for visitors as a view point.
If you got more time, go visit Fürenalp in Engelberg, its much calmer/lesser known and its a very scenic place. Ideal to hike or to go climbing
Switzerland is always beautiful... my favorite place because of the SNOW😊
Not always cold. Currently in summer very hot :D
Our favourite country too
I was there last May 2019with my friend Amy we enjoy much of out tour to Europe..that my dream come true to see the other side of the world most talk about on their holiday
We had visited Mt.Titlis as a part of Europe tour arranged by M/s Thomas Cook India .Two cable car journeys are simply wonderful sights and won't get nowhere in the world.Thanks for recalling our joyful days.
Wow! I was there Feb. 2020 before the Pandemic. I had great adventure going there from Lucerne. Titlis will offer you such amazing view and unforgettable experience!
June is a good month to visit too
Just booked a trip to Mount Titlis/Engelberg for for the 2020 ski season. Very informative video. Thanks.
Since this pandemic and the following lockdowns have occurred, UA-cam has been my saviour. I love anything Mountains and snow and have been very lucky in finding your video's. I want to explore Switzerland and didn't really know where to look for guidance regarding the locations of different places. I know now!! The series of films has helped me plan and given me an insight of the places that I may well have missed. Trouble is, now I want to go every where!! Thank You Mr Callan.
I was there with my family Oct 2019. Amazing.
Wow!Switzerland looks clean and unpolluted with proper forest cover clean water!
Paradise on Earth 🌍
I call this video "Pre Mount Titlis Enjoyment", as I enjoyed Mount Titlis by watching this video. many thanks Dennis.
We visited Titles last before year. It was wonderful to see and everything is well organised. Thanks for the Swiss.
Thank you. Though I visited Mount Titlis, last May 17', you have made me refresh and I really enjoyed the video. As you advised we will travel by Train from Lucerne to M.Titlis.
just beautiful scenery and amazing views...
So fun to this video of a place we go often as well! We live in Zurich and hike in this area a lot. Love that you're sharing it with the world. Gorgeous!
I am torn between going to Zurich or Stanserhorn after Mt Titlis
Nice,clear description. We went Engleberg & Titlis from Zurich by bus tourist package. Returned from Engleberg to Lucerne by train,after visting Lucerne came back to Zurich by bus.Excellent, one may try this route.
Thanks a lot for the travel tips! I was able to plan my travel better after watching your series!
Most beautiful place to visit the Mount Titleist
Love so much this beautiful country ...
In typical swiss fashion, they have civilized mountain peaks😺
Beautiful switzerland! I enjoy it a lot! thanks for sharing my friend! big like 3871, new sub here from Taiwan!

Excellent video! Thanks for the details and adding the information about the climate during the year.
Wow thats beautiful. Mount titlis just entered into my list.
ghanta
Nice country video/ Thank you very much Sir
Thank you for sharing your adventure in Switzerland
Just letting you know you've added to my itinerary for our 2020 vacations... A thousand thanks .
That Comnent didn't age well
@@Genius_at_Work indeed my friend who would have guessed it would be the year of a pandemic.
Amazing
I just LOVE these videos....it brings back my childhood...😊
Just back from Mount Titlis last April 2019. Thanks for the very detailed explanation is very helpful for the next trip to Zurich. Really hope to get back there soon.
It is a beautiful mountain video and train ride in your views. Thank u very much sir
Thanks for the video... I would have missed a much pleasant time to Titlis...
very detailed explanation..learnt a lot and will plan accordingly for our next trip to Switzerland
Thanks for the video. Awesome! Cat and I were there in 1985.
Spannort restaurant in Engelberg used to be open 6 days a week during summer season as well. at least till 2013. The waitress with the brown hair at 27:37 is Pamela, she is from Portugal and lives and works in Engelberg for more than 10 years.
I've never been to Switzerland even though I visited various European countries. It reminds me of one other place I've been to in a way. The Himalayan foothills of India, believe it or not although that's not as developed except for around Darjeeling. Stunning scenery and infrastructure here, thx for this video denniscallan. Cheers!
I've noticed that too. View of Swiss Alps is quite similar to Himalayas but since the infrastructure in Himalayan range is not that great, trip to Himalayas is good for backpackers only.
Each hasn't its own charm but yet do resemble each other in ways as you said.
Wonder if they grow/harvest tea like they do in Darjeeling.
Very helpful. I plan to go in some near times, lets see the beauty. It resembles my home country India's beauty of Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttrakhand and Sikkim.
Such a detailed video, planning to go next month. !!! Thanks for giving all the information regarding climatic conditions, number of hours spent.etc..,
I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for your efforts! Great detail !
O WAH ! WHAT A LOVELY SITE SEEN OF SWIZERLAND , SHOWING FROM TRAIN WINDOW .?

Beautiful!,
Love your stunning videos...have been to the most beautiful Switzerland....refreshed my beautiful memories
My wife and I were there in 1969 on a clear sunny day and took the funicular up the first part of the trip up the mountain. At the next to last change building we saw people sunbathing on the roof of the building and it was cold then at that point.
Was there October last year. Journey there to Engelberg
and up Mt Titlis was nice. However it was a cloudy day that day. Was up summit for about 2-3 hours but clouds didn't clear. Would want to go back one day. Dennis as usual your videos are so. Informative and nice. Keep posting.
Ricky Chong Mt titilis very nice video
How was it to visit in October?. As many websites says it's a off season.
I just went in Sept 2018, was the best clear sunny day and views on views.....
@@aminalone I had been there in September end, it was great but not much ice at mt titlis
feel free to check my vids if you want from Titlis, it was quite awesome. Naturally the Glacier is receding, I chatted to a guide on the hill and he talked about how much its changed over the years, i took the ice flyer over the Glacier and it was simply one of the best things ive ever done, and ive been all over the Canadian Rockies also.
Dennis Callan I love your Switzerland films, I wish I could come along with your Group ! thank you
Great video, my friend! Thanks for sharing!
Very good & Informative video,Very exciting place & Natural beauty is awesome.Thank you for this video
One of the best and perfect scenic ride through your eyes to us. I would shout out to have many new visitors to your channel . You seems to be the best
So beautiful 😻 ❤❤ and information about trip is helpful ❤❤
Beautiful
Dennis...

Best Luck.

Good video..as if i was there !
Thank you for this video. Amazing and Informative.
Nice presentation with simple language ever seen in you tube....
Yes totally agreed, we love Lucerne and Titlis too. Just been there in May22 & had a fantastic time so thanks for bringing back the good memory! (Although I disagree with you saying 2nd class is as good as 1st class as I have to say 1st class seats were much more spacious, the big & clean windows were amazing & therefore no need to lower the windows. The 1st class train ride had added a huge positive difference to our experience in Switzerland)
Happy to hear you had a wonderful time in Lucerne and Titlis, amazing places. About the train windows, I am frequently shooting video and don't want any reflection in the window, so sliding them down in second class is better for me. Window reflections can ruin a beautiful video shot. Anyway, those Swiss trains are excellent, and first class is more comfortable.
Thanks Dennis , really enjoyed the experience .Your commentary was very interesting and informative.I'd really like to make this trip after listening to your narrative.The best part is usually about the eating choices , imagine eating at 10,000 ft. high .
just did this, it was awesome. best clear day ever with views on views.
check my vlogs if you like in my video section
beautiful
Would not hesitate to go again. I only been to the Jungfrau, interlaken and Luzern. 😢
So beautiful a must to visit place.
When is the best time to visit Mt. Titlis, so that I can enjoy a clear sunny view of the mountains as well as the snow?
About January i work there i have to know;)
Thank you we will definitely add this place to our plans.
heaven on earth
If you needed some new places to visit in Italy, less known than the usual places, have a look at "Linea Verde" on Rai1 - sunday's 12.20pm ET. But in Italian! There's a lot to learn about Italy's inside.
Thank you👍
Going on Sunday 😁
Super Video
Beautiful video. Liked it very much. Thank you. Helpful as we plan our visit to the place soon.
Nice commentary and good video by Denniscallan. Thank you. Love to visit this place
Excellent 🎉 🎉
懐かしい。ビデオをありがとう。
It’s very important to know what you’re talking about when you make a video. Maybe with people who have no idea about mountains it can work, but to say that the Finsteraarhorn is the Jungfrau...you just have to look at the topo-map that’s at the top to know which mountain is what!
Love this video... How much does it cost for the tubing and the gandola, etc.
Beautiful place. But it's like a museum with all the tourists
Thank you for making this video just got super excited for my trip!!! Very helpful!!!!
WHAT A SKY BRIDGE OF ENGEL BERG OF SWITZERLAND ?
Excellent video.I had been in Switzerland with courtesy Tufalgar Travel Tour I year 2001.
Enjoyed the trips once
Wish go there after the pandemic
Excellent, very comprehensive video. Thanks!
At 16'07 the legends are wrong "Jungfrau" is Finsteraarhorn, "Mönch" is Finsteraarhorn shoulder, and "Eiger" is Agassizhorn
Hi Dennis! I would like to know..what month of the year is the best to go and visit the Mount Titlis to enjoy this sunny weather?
I prefer May -- less crowded than summer.
How much to pay for the cable car when you purchase a swiss travel pass?
Usually a 25-50% discount, but there are many alternatives, so consult websites like sbb.ch or raileurope for current pricing.
Titlis ...lol 😉😛😄
Thanks Dennis, great video.
