Per one customer who booked the Mt. Titlis Glacier Paradise Tour From Zurich with Lucerne, "We had a beautiful day in Lucerne and visiting Mt. Titlis. Xia was our very knowledgeable guide and provided us with good stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the views of the Alps from the top and going through the glacier cave. The cliff walk provided great views, also. Well worth the price."

Whenever you visit Mt. Titlis, remember that at an altitude of around 9,840 feet (3,000 meters), the weather is unpredictable. Bring sunglasses, a hat, a scarf, and a windproof jacket. And, wear long trousers; your legs will thank you at the top, even if it’s scorching hot lower down the mountain.
