Description

For this bus ride, you can choose whether you want to go all the way to the top of Titlis or not.

In the morning, you’ll board a comfortable coach in Zurich, which first takes you to Lucerne. A sightseeing drive will introduce you to Lucerne’s main attractions. You’ll see the world-famous Chapel Bridge with its water tower, the Gothic Jesuit Church, and the Culture and Congress Centre (KKL). The bus then continues to Engelberg in the canton of Obwalden.

From there, you hop on the 8-person gondola of the Titlis Xpress which takes you to Trübsee (the mid-station on Titlis). Here, a staff member from Titlis Snowpark will greet you. On the beginner slope, you can try your first tentative skiing attempts for an hour. Everything you need is provided free of charge. Afterwards, you can enjoy snow tubing and slide down the snowy hill. To get back up, there’s a magic carpet conveyor belt.

If you’ve decided to visit the summit, you’ll continue from Trübsee up to the top, where you’ll have 20 to 30 minutes for taking great photos. Later in the afternoon, you’ll descend back to Engelberg. From there, the coach takes you back to Zurich.
