5.00Magnificent excursion to Titlis. It's very worth it, spectacular. We were very lucky to have a spring day (25/02/2026), clear and sunny. To make the best use of the time bring snacks and take it at the Lucerne stop. Magnificent organization, explanations and help at all times from Adela, Victor and great driver Felipe.
Good day out

3.00It was really cool to see the top of the mountain but I don't think it was worth money with the construction on the top of Mount Titlis. The guides were great when we did interact but their involvement was minimal. The glacier cave is not as blue as the picture and had a cave in so only half the cave was accessible. The ice flyer shut down while we were on the top so we couldn't ride it. There were many attractions within the top shut down due to the tower they are building on the top of the mountain. We ended up spending the majority of our time eating overpriced spaghetti.
Great stays and place.

5.00The ski experience is very elementary but fun nonetheless. We still had time to do the cliff walk and glacier cave as well. Bjorn was an awesome guide. Incredible views and the bridge isn’t as scary as it looks! It’s amazing!
