As your cart climbs closer to the summit, you will be treated to stunning views over the Alps, with mountains, valleys, and crystalline lakes stretching as far as the eye can see. Your guide will share stories about the history and culture of the region, pointing out spots of interest you might otherwise have missed.
When you reach the top you will have the chance to explore the Glacier Cave, with its centuries-old ice tunnels and fresh glacial air, and the Titlis Cliff Walk, which offers 360-degree views and an exhilarating route across a suspension bridge.
Those looking for an adrenaline-fuelled adventure will also have the chance to take the Ice Flyer to the Titlis Glacier Park. This thrilling chair lift will sweep you over crisp snowfields, with nothing beneath you except icey air and birds-eye views of Titlis.

This tour was awesome because of my guide - JONAS. There is not as much to this tour as I had in my mind from reading the description. Be prepared - there is hiking. The top of Mt. Titlis is beautiful and quite a relief from the 90 degree weather in Lucerne in July. Walking across the suspended bridge and through the glacier were highlights and notably remarkable! The cheese tasting is not an organized tasting, per se. It consisted of Jonas bringing cheeses, bread and meat and sitting on a bench tasting the cheese. It was quite good but I did have in my mind we were going to a cheese factory where I would see how they make cheese - this was my fault. Again, Jonas made the trip. Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and he knew exactly where he was going. Highly recommend any tour by Jonas!546bevw
