Overview

Swap the streets of Zurich for the snowy peaks of Mt. Titlis with this day-long trip out of the city—an easy way to explore the rest of Switzerland without having to organize a thing. Stop in charming Lucerne, where you’ll see landmarks such as the Chapel Bridge and the Culture and Convention Centre (KKL), with time to wander, shop, and snap photos in the scenic Old Town. Then continue the journey to Engelberg and travel up the mountain by gondola. Then, at the Trübsee middle station, your time is your own to kick back in the snow. Test your nerves on the snow tubing run, or try skiing; basic equipment rental and supervision is included. Finally (if summit option selected), ride the Rotair revolving cable car to soak up alpine views from the summit.

Mount Titlis tour pure Awesomess!

KBrian_S, Dec 2024

We had an awesome experience as first time skiiers. The check in andbus ride and the tour guide (konrad) was soo good. Very imformative. My sticker received at checkin(like ID)drop of half way thru the trip. AT Mount Titlis, everything was organized and all staff friendly. I didnt see any lockers to store your shoes/ personal items after changing into ski gear...i think they should add a pic taken person. During sking to one to take your pics...lol.... Overall its was fantastic!

Snow Experience add-on is a waste of money

Kevin_B, Mar 2024

Overall this tour was okay, but the snow experience add on was a waste of money. We were told to get off the cable car at the first stop and there would be a staff member to help us. This was not the case. We wandered aimlessly and eventually asked two different employees and neither knew about it. There weren’t even any signs to tell you where to go. I wish the guide had gone with us to show us where we were supposed to go. Having wasted almost an hour, we gave up and just went to the top of the mountain. The views were spectacular, but I wish I hadn’t spent an extra $60 for something I didn’t even get to experience. Also for the first stop in Lucerne, you only get about an hour which was hardly enough time to walk to the lion monument and back to the bus before it leaves. Other than these two disappointments, the rest of the tour was decent. The guide was friendly and spoke multiple languages including English.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Kevin, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this feedback regarding your recent experience on our Snow Experience tour at Mt Titlis. We are sorry to hear about your frustration with our tour. As stated in the tour description, this tour includes a stop in the morning of approximately 1 hour in the charming city of Lucerne, a very popular destination in Switzerland. Conveniently located along the journey, this stop gives our guests the chance to explore the old town or to grab a snack or a drink before proceeding to the main highlight, Mt. Titlis. While we understand that you would have preferred to spend more time in Lucerne, it is unfortunately not possible to also extend the tour duration. At check-in, our guests receive a comprehensive booklet with all the information regarding the activity, as well as our contact details for any emergencies. Additionally, according to your guide, he also briefed everyone on the procedure before the arrival at the cable car station to ensure a smooth experience for all. It surprises us to read that you were unable to locate the activity site, especially since all the other 7 guests of the same tour found it and enjoyed the activity to the fullest. We also regret that you didn’t reach out to us for assistance, as we would have been more than happy to help ensure you could successfully participate. However, please understand that issuing a partial refund is not possible, as we are obligated to cover the costs of the services provided by our partner, Mt Titlis, which are included in the tour. We hope that you still keep fond memories from your stay in Switzerland and to welcome you on tour another time. Best regards Ambika from Best of Switzerland Tours

Rip off..

Joey_T, Mar 2024

I cannot recommend this tour due to severe communication issues. Upon check-in, we were instructed to await a Mt. Titlus employee to escort us to the snow experience area, as per the brochure. However, no staff members were present upon our arrival, leaving us stranded. Despite the tour guide's directions, we were unable to locate the designated area, as the building was obscured by snow. Our attempts to seek assistance from mountain staff proved futile, resulting in wasted time and frustration. Despite my request for a partial refund for the snow experience, it was denied. This disappointing experience has deterred me from booking with Viator in the future. Despite its high cost, the tour failed to deliver, echoing similar sentiments expressed by other reviewers.

anntrijo, Mar 2023

It was a great experience! I would suggest to visit the top of mt. Titlis before going for the skiing because by the time we reached the cliff walk we saw nothing but fog. We should've went earlier. But overall it was a great and fun tour.

Ski experience sub par for us but the view is as magnificent!

Betsy_H, Jan 2023

The drive and stop to Lucerne was beautiful. Our guide was kind. The stop by Queen Astrid of Belgium’s memorial site was unexpected and charming. Where we had challenges was checking in for the ski experience. The guide gave us a map and very clear instruction on where to go to begin our ski experience because he was staying with the Spanish-speakers. The remaining members of the group followed the instructions (on Jan. 1) and the office was locked. After asking in several locations to no avail, we wasted valuable time waiting for someone to return only to be told we needed to basically walk down, around and through a tunnel to the ski area on what was basically ice (global warming’s fault)…so two of us in our family bypassed the actual ski experience because skiing was on slush and for me it was just too dangerous to go down. For my husband, because apparently people who work the ski instruction didn’t show up for work, he ended up providing instruction for our group, along with our daughter, and others on the hill who had fallen. The view as the sun set was stunning, but as we tried to navigate the other 4 levels, the elevator was broken for levels 2-4. If you are considering the snow experience, only do it after checking that Mt. Titlis has enough snow on it and instructors. Don’t go on New Year’s Day or other high-traffic days! Otherwise it’s worth it.

The 4 of us loved this experience (kids 10 & 12). The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting and helpful. We loved Lucerne and then Mt Titlis was breathtaking. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Auja G, Feb 2018

This was a great trip! The only change I would make would be to allow more time at the mountain. I did the snow experience At a very beginner's course. Perfect for children and inexperienced adults, so I spent a good bit of my mountain time with that. Afterwards, I felt a bit rushed to visit the other levels. Besides that, it was great! The Mt. Titlis staff was very helpful. I never skied before and I was moving through poles after 10 mins of instruction. The views were amazing!!! The tour guide was very informative on the bus ride to the mountain. It was a great experience!

Amazing!

Paula_A, Feb 2026
