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.

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
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.
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 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
I call this video "Pre Mount Titlis Enjoyment", as I enjoyed Mount Titlis by watching this video. many thanks Dennis.
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.

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.
Thanks for the video... I would have missed a much pleasant time to Titlis...
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.
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.
Thank you for this video. Amazing and Informative.
Thank you we will definitely add this place to our plans.
very detailed explanation..learnt a lot and will plan accordingly for our next trip to Switzerland
Love your video❤
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.
Good video..as if i was there !
Thanks for the video. Awesome! Cat and I were there in 1985.
i love your vlog. it helps a lot.God bless you
Dennis...
Truely got a feeling of a day excursion with prompt details ...
Good Job..
Thank you,
Best Luck.

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.
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 video. Liked it very much. Thank you. Helpful as we plan our visit to the place soon.
O WAH ! WHAT A LOVELY SITE SEEN OF SWIZERLAND , SHOWING FROM TRAIN WINDOW .?
15:21 This is actually awesome af.
I think imma go there, one day.
In typical swiss fashion, they have civilized mountain peaks😺
Awesome video Dennis .... keep rocking...
Enjoyed the trips once
Nice commentary and good video by Denniscallan. Thank you. Love to visit this place
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.
Verry beautyful photography and amazing tour description and comentry
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.
heaven on earth
Excellent, very comprehensive video. Thanks!
