Titlis Cliff Walk

Since 2012, there's been a suspension bridge at Titlis. At that time, it was the highest suspension bridge in Europe. The Titlis Cliff Walk takes you across a swaying cable structure at an elevation of 3,041 meters above sea level, hovering over a 500-meter deep abyss. It spans about 100 meters, connecting the viewing platform with the mountain station of the glacier chairlift Ice-Flyer.

The suspension bridge weighs a total of 30 tons and is designed to bring guests closer to the mountains of Titlis. The opening of the new bridge coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Engelberg - Gerschnialp cable car. To get to the bridge, a path leads from the mountain station through an underground mountain tunnel to the viewing platform at the South Wall Window. This tunnel is 140 meters long. The bridge is a swaying cable construction that can withstand temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius and wind speeds up to 200 km/h. On the sides, the one-meter-wide suspension bridge is secured by a six-foot-high chain-link fence.

Glacier Cave at Titlis

The glacier cave is accessible via a tunnel from the first level of the TITLIS mountain station.

Ten meters deep, the 150 m long tunnel runs beneath the glacier's surface. The ice in the cave is up to 5000 years old. The temperature here is consistently minus 1.5 degrees Celsius. The glacier cave is open daily all year round, and visiting is free.

Viewpoint Stotzig Egg

It takes about 40 minutes to hike to Stotzig Egg. From the Titlis summit station, the secured glacier path leads to the Stotzig Egg viewpoint.

The glacier path is located at an altitude of 3020 m and is considered a moderately challenging hike. From the viewpoint, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the peaks of the Central Swiss Alps. In good weather conditions, you might catch glimpses of the Berner Oberland and the Valais mountains. You can even see the Black Forest on a clear day.

You can hike this route all year round, but its accessibility depends on snow and weather conditions.

Note: A part of the hiking path is located on the ski slope during the winter months from October to May.

Hiking on the Titlis

On and around the Titlis there are 4 official hiking trails and 20 official mountain trails, varying in duration from one to just under nine hours.

Easy hike from Engelberg train station - waterfall

From the train station the trail leads along the spa park to the monastery. From there along the cemetery, over the Klostermatte to St. Anna and after the bridge along the Schweizerhausstrasse to the waterfall. After the waterfall the path goes to the valley station of the Fürenalp cable car. A free sports bus takes hikers back to the village.

• 4.8 km
• 1:15 hrs.
• 82 meters of ascent

Difficult mountain hike from Trübsee top station - Titlis summit

This glacier tour is done with crampons and ice axe; inexperienced climbers are secured by the rope of the mountain guide. The hike begins in Trübsee with a well-maintained trail in a southeasterly direction to the Stand viewpoint and over easy rock steps to the Unter Rotegg lift station.

Here, to the south, is the entrance to the Titlis glacier (can be icy in late summer). The snowcats level a solid track on the glacier in summer. Along the lift and above the toboggan area the path leads to the Ice-Flyer station and from Stotzig Egg as a leveled pedestrian route towards the top station. The transition point to the west ridge is open (largely free of snow) and can be walked on a zigzag trail without any problems. After a shallow hollow, wire ropes help you to master the last steep part to the Titlis summit. The way back is via the Westgrad trail to the mountain station.

Mountain biking on the Titlis

On the Titlis there is a wide range of tours with the mountain bike of varying difficulty. The mountain bike can be transported with the mountain railroads. The tours are rideable from June to October.

Some examples of tours:

The Jochpass trail (easy):

This is a flow trail from the Jochpass to Trübsee and is suitable for both experienced bikers and beginners, as the stages can be ridden at different speeds.

• 4.5 km
• 20 min
• 440 meters of altitude descent

Trudy-Trail from Jochpass to Trübsee (demanding)

1km, 210hm): The trail does not contain any rough steps and jumps, but several difficult passages, obstacles and steep wall curves. Perfect for downhill connoisseurs.

• 1km
• 200 meters of descent

Hells Bells Trail from Jochpass to Engstlenalp (moderately difficult):

The trail is comfortably one meter wide, but has some challenges.

• 2 km
• 285 meters of descent

The 4-lake tour Engelberg-Trübsee-Jochpass-Engstlenalp-Tannalp-Melchsee-Frutt (demanding)

The Titlis XPress takes you by mountain bike to Trübsee. Here the tour starts and leads first uphill to the Jochpass. From there over the Engstlenalp and the Tannalp to Melchsee-Frutt. From here it's all downhill to Sarnen.

• 32 km
• 920 meters of altitude descent

On a flow trail, a mountain bike can be ridden smoothly (flow) along the entire route. In downhill, an exclusively downhill route is ridden as fast as possible.

At the Titlis valley station next to Titlis Rent you will find a bike washing facility. At the Jochpass valley station there is a Schlauchomat with different tube sizes for bikes as well as a tool and compressed air station.

Via ferrata on the Titlis: Graustock

The Graustock via ferrata starts at the Bärghuis (mountain lodge) Jochpass at 2222 meters above sea level and leads to the 2662-meter-high summit of the Graustock with a view of the Titlis.

The via ferrata is considered a moderately difficult tour. You can reach the car-free Jochpass with the TITLIS gondola from Engelberg to Trübsee and further with the Jochpass chairlift. A signpost at the Jochpass shows you the way, which is marked white-blue-white in the further course.

On the via ferrata, which alternates between steep mountain paths and challenging climbing passages, 475 meters of altitude are conquered in about 4.5 hours. Over the 700 m high north face of the Graustock you can overlook the Engelberg valley. From the summit cross the view goes to the mountain Titlis and the places Spannort, Rigi and Pilatus, with clear view up to the Bernese Alps (Wetterhörner, Schreckhorn and Finsteraarhorn).

Stages of the ascent (about three hours)

• 20 meters of altitude to the first ascent, along the southeast ridge of Graustock
• along the wire rope to the point Rot Nollen at 2309 m a.s.l.
• 60 vertical meters to the second rocky ascent
• along the wire ropes steeply over rocks and grass to the Schafberg at 2522 meters above sea level
• via marked path with scree and stone slabs to the steepest ascent (particularly demanding)
• to the rocky ridge, which is then overcome by means of wire ropes, and to the summit cross (2661 meters above sea level)

Stages of the descent (about 1.5 hours):

• over the ridge along the wire ropes to the big cairn
• descend on the right towards the south until the step and the passage to the Schaftal valley
• follow the white-blue-white marked path up to the point 2324 m
• now follow the white-red-white marked path to the Jochpass

Very important for this tour is the observation of the weather. Above the karst areas, snow bridges can collapse when stepping on rock cracks and large snow cornices may hang over the ridge in early summer. Poor visibility could cause problems especially on the descent.

The via ferrata is open from the beginning of June to the end of October, over the winter the wire ropes are dismantled. The necessary via ferrata equipment can be rented. It is available at Bärghuis Jochpass or at Titlis Rent at the valley station.

Skiing and Snowboarding

From the Titlis Glacier down to Engelberg, there's about 12 km reserved for the longest run, covering an altitude difference of 2000 meters.

In the Engelberg-Titlis ski area, there are 82 kilometers of slopes available. From December to April, nearly all slopes are guaranteed to have snow. Skiing and snowboarding on the glacier is possible from October until the end of May.

Some of the slopes and runs include:

• Rotegg descent (very steep)

Cross-country skiing

Cross-country skiing on the Titlis is possible on several trails that start in the valley from Engelberg. On the mountain, the Gerschnialp trail is a popular cross-country skiing tour.

The Gerschnialp trail is 8 km long and is classified as an easy to medium tour. It leads through the wintry Gerschni forest. Short, intense climbs and flat passages alternate on the tour between Gerschnialp and Untertrübsee. The route moves at an altitude between 1262 and 1300 m above sea level and can be skied classically or as skating.

In skating, the leg kick is done using the skating stride. This technique allows faster movement compared to the classic style of cross-country skiing. The Gerschialp trail is open daily during the winter season from December to March.

Access to the trail is by funicular from the Titlis valley station to Gerschnialp. The cross-country trail starts not far from the Gerschnialp mountain station, a shuttle bus bridges the distance to the trail. At the end of the cross-country trail, the funicular from Untertrübsee leads back to the valley. The cross-country skiing takes about 2:15 hours and overcomes 107 meters in altitude.

35 further cross-country skiing trail kilometers are available in the valley from Engelberg.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is possible around the Titlis in the valley and on the mountain. There are two snowshoe trails on the mountain.

Gerschnialp-Untertrübsee Trail

The trail is accessible from December to March. It starts at the well-signposted starting point, which you reach after a short stretch on the road. The snowshoe trail runs parallel to the cross-country ski trail and is clearly marked as such. First the trail leads into the Gerschniwald, then at Schlegi along the Bitzistock through an open area to the mountain restaurant Untertrübsee. Here you are already halfway through the tour.

After a wide mat with a view of the surrounding mountains, the tour leads back along the edge of the forest to the Gerschnialp mountain station. Arrival and departure are via the funicular. The walking time is about one and a half to two hours at an altitude between 1262 and 1240 m above sea level. On the total distance of 4.2 km you will climb and descend 141 meters in altitude.

The winter hiking trail is clearly signposted and leads around the Trübsee. On the way you can stop at the Älpstübli or at the end of the trail at the Berghotel Trübsee. The 3.2 km and 32 meters of altitude difference can be covered in about one hour.

• 3.2 km
• 1 hr.
• 28 meters of ascent and descent

Glacier park

The glacier park is open in summer and its use is free of charge. The sliding fun takes place with various sliding devices: Snake Gliss, Balancer or Zipfelbob are used by visitors on the Snowtoy track to go down the slope. The Magic-Carpet conveyor belt then takes them back to the starting point in a short time.

On the Snake Gliss, several toboggans are linked together and steered by an expert. Up to ten toboggans can be connected behind each other (up to 10 toboggans per snake).

A Snake Bobsled can be ridden without prior training even by young children from about three years old. Special grooves on the otherwise smooth underside and the low center of gravity ensure that the Zipfelbob rides true to track and does not tip over. The grab handle helps the rider steer.

In snowtubing, participants slide down the slope on a tire. There are all variants for this: sitting, lying, forward or backward. The tires also turn around their own axis without losing track. In winter, snowtubing and the other sliding devices are offered in the slide park at Trübsee.

Avalanche Training Center Titlis

Avalanche training is offered free of charge in winter at Trübsee. On Schlächtismatt (Trübsee) you can practice searching with the avalanche transceiver (LVS) under realistic conditions. The first 15 minutes after being buried by an avalanche are crucial to save the life of a buried victim. An avalanche transceiver is a useful aid in this process. In the training center you practice the use of the device.

The Avalanche Training Center contains ten avalanche transceivers distributed over an area of 100x100 meters. Each avalanche transceiver has a probe surface of 40 x 60 cm.

The search is carried out with an avalanche transceiver and a probe. If a probe encounters an active transmitter, the transceiver indicates the hit. At the same time, it is displayed on the control center of the Avalanche Training Center. In this control center, the transceivers are also switched on by radio in advance for the exercise.

The handling of this training unit is simple. To increase the level of difficulty, an expert mode is available.

How an avalanche transceiver works:

Each transceiver can be set to transmit or search mode. Tourers or freeriders (off-piste skiers or snowboarders) each wear an avalanche transceiver set to transmit on their body. Those searching for a buried subject set their transceiver to search. The range is 20-60 m.

Avalanche beacon, avalanche probe and avalanche shovel are part of the standard equipment. Training in the correct use of these can save lives.

A cogwheel train departs from Engelberg to Gerschnialp. From Gerschnialp and Trübsee, gondolas and aerial cable cars float up to the Stand station. From there, you continue with the aerial cable car „Rotair“. It spins 360 degrees during the ride, providing a panoramic view at 3020 m above sea level at Klein-Titlis. The Ice-Flyer chairlift goes directly to the glacier park.

Operating hours for the TITLIS lifts are from 8:50 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last ride down to Engelberg at 5:00 PM. The travel time from Engelberg to the Titlis mountain station is about half an hour.
