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! 🤠

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.

Thank you for sharing your adventure in Switzerland
It is a beautiful mountain video and train ride in your views. Thank u very much sir
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.
i love your vlog. it helps a lot.God bless you
I seen this place, really beautiful 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

Hi Dennis,thank you so much for such a detail video of Lucern and all other travel videos ,I planned my euro trip according to your video,so looking forward to visit euro next week!its made it much easier for first time visitor.
Hi Tina, I'm glad my Swiss videos have been helpful. I always design them to be practical guides filled with all the beautiful sights, glad it worked for you. I'm sure you will enjoy Switzerland.
Enjoyed the trips once
Lovely video ! We are from Switzerland :D
Wish go there after the pandemic
Nice commentary and good video by Denniscallan. Thank you. Love to visit this place
Going on Sunday 😁
Thanks Dennis, great video.

Love this video... How much does it cost for the tubing and the gandola, etc.
When I visited Titlis in year 2013 on May 1 then also it snowed
Btw nice video
I want to go there before I die🙏🏾
I really am jealous! What a fantastic life getting to travel as much as you do. I was wondering if you could say whether or not most of Europe is wheelchair friendly? I’d really like to take my father but I’m worried most of the historic places which he wants to see are not wheelchair friendly. Thanks for all the fantastic videos.
Thanks for that...yes I'm fortunate, and work hard to make those new movies keep coming. Titlis is wheelchair friendly, as you might notice in this movie. Many European places are not however -- they don't have a lot of curb-cuts in sidewalks, and there are many cobbled lanes in the most charming areas. Switzerland is more advanced in these provisions.
denniscallan thank you. Happy new year
Of course yes
wow!
Excellent video.I had been in Switzerland with courtesy Tufalgar Travel Tour I year 2001.
Awesome video Dennis .... keep rocking...
I was liveing there all most 35th years ago.
Your group is from Hawaii!!! Aloha guys! Were planning a trip to Egypt and are flying through Zurich on the way, so was researching if we spent one night since were flying through! Aloha!
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.
very nice place
Suchn a helpful Video Dennis !
Sir dennis, your video is very informative. we'll be in Lucern and came across to see ur video. How much does it costs to take the cable car back en fort in Mount Titlis?... Thank You!
is it a good Idea to be in Mount Titlis like last week of April?
Titlis-Engelberg r/t is 92 Swiss Francs. You can get a combined rail-lift ticket from Lucerne train station with a slight discount. Last week of April is great time to be there, yes.
@@denniscallan thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it so much :) We decided to go there becasue of your video :)
Thank you Dennis. I was really looking hard to find such a video introducing the way for Titlis. In regards to scooter, how can I reach Gerschnialp? There are two cables as I understand from your video. The first from Engelberg Talstation to Stand, then from Stand to the Summit and vice versa. So, how can I reach the scooter stop? You have some videos with maps illustrations and I do really thank you for them.
Yes, my Titlis video, like most of my work, is detailed, glad you like it. The scooters are available when you change cablecars on your way back down from Titlis. It's easy. Just ask one of the workers, they will explain. It is definitely worth it.
sooo want to do this... sept 2018
Really helpful thanks! However i think it would have been bit more helpful if you added or mentioned the prices on the videos (ie train tickets, cable carts etc)
I'm glad the Titlis video is helpful. I generally don't mention prices because there are many different possibilities, depending on what discount you might have from Swiss Pass or other options, and the prices do change from one year to the next, so it's best for you to do a web search and you will get current info on range of possibilities. It gets a bit complicated -- I've found that sometimes the clerks at the rail station are not even sure!
Impressive video.
You should try hiking up it - it was fun but exhausting.
I was up there a last saturday and the only thing I didn't like was the 92 $ ticket for the cable car. Nice view though...
what was say total expenditure for travel ? and did you start at Lucerne.
I started from Innetkirchen (near Meiringen) and the train ticket was about 40.- (or $) to Engelberg, where the cable cars start. I believe the ticket from Lucerne was about half that. So it was 80.- for the train tickets (2nd class) plus 92.- fot the cable car.
GEORGE ZARIFIS Thank you kindly. Cheers for the info. Doing my research for said trip. Thanks again.
Is Mount Titlis next to Mount Bralis?
TQVM. I'm adding you to my Swiss2020.
I'm planning to travel on December 24th and 25th. Is it safe to travel to titlis with 2.8years old kid? Do we need to take ticket for him as well?
yes it's safe for all.
hi, can i check if strollers are allowed on the gondola to mount titlis?
awesome very informative video... but you didnt mention about the climate in november... i am planing to visit in november... Could you give me some suggestion??
In November most of the bigger alps are closed for getting ready for skiing season. Also the weather is very gloomy. From my own experience in November 2018
@@sonamkabra138 thanks for the Information, shifting my plans to September 😁👍
Hi Dennis - Did you film this video in 2017 - Great Stuff
Skiing in titlis engelberg its Ok bonne journée vacance sàlut
👍
lvly video.
Can i find same snow in august month in mount titlis
all year round, it's a glacier, yes snow-covered mountain always, but it might not be too fresh, depending on weather in previous weeks.
Hello 😊 is it possible to ride car to Cable Car station in Engelberg? 😊
Why its so green in swiss ????
For sure: no problems at all
why i never see anyone bringing their infant baby? is it dangerous? I am planning to visit on this september, bring my 23months baby as well.. do i need to worry?
check with your doctor
Hello Dennis, can you please let me know how much would train cost from Lucerne --> Engleburg. Cable car cost to Titlis
can pre purchase online day passes, cheap.
The Spannort Hotel has a more than excellent restaurant. It has always been of a Swiss family, but around 2009 it was bought by a Skandinavian chef who brought it to an even higher level. Their Chateaubriand roast for two persons minimum is the best, from Swiss cows that are fed on the Alp meadows. The staff is mainly non-Swiss. as the majority in Swiss tourist industry is, and to my experience they remember who you are even after two years. They even remember your favorite salad dressing, ´´franzosisch´´ French dressing if it is Pamela from Portugal.
amazing video. i would love to visit there in my trip in december. Question: can i take my 1.5 and 5 year old kids up there?
My fav Switzerland but I can't.com
I cannot afford a trip like this, too expensive for me 😭😭
cows don't produce neither cheese nor chocolate. they just give milk!

I have said also
I could not get to the cliff walk, because the glacier was very steep, we need proper shoes or sticks, even the less steep hill was hard to come down with our walking shoes
In normal conditions it is easy to walk over to the cliff walk, no special shoes needed. Once you are on it, all is protected with railings -- but not for those afraid of heights.
denniscallan it is the steep hill before the cliff walk very slippery
Maybe you went up in the wrong direction, to the right side, following some others who went up that way. The direct route is not very steep -- slippery maybe, you're walking on snow. I have seen young and old make it no problem.
16:05 what he's saying is not true.
I really like your videos, but a bit of constructive criticism - you don't always have to talk. You are trying to fill dead air, but it isn't necessary and it comes off as awkward.
Thanks for the feedback. I do invest a lot of effort to create useful narrations that describe what is happening on screen and hold the viewer's attention, which I believe to be a strength of the programs, but yes, I could talk a bit less, at least take some longer pauses and let the visuals work. This would surely make my production easier and I will keep it in mind. Maybe I'm over-reacting to the 90% of YT travel shows that have no narration whatsoever, which is just not my style. I like to entertain and educate at the same time, which can be a real challenge.
i love it when you describe what is happening on the screen. Thank you so much. it really helps a lot.
narration is good.
Where are all the black people
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
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
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
Switzerland is always beautiful... my favorite place because of the SNOW😊
Not always cold. Currently in summer very hot :D
Our favourite country too
Thanks a lot for the travel tips! I was able to plan my travel better after watching your series!
Since this pandemic and the following lockdowns have occurred, TH-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.
