Engelberg-Titlis

About 35 kilometers south of Lucerne, Engelberg-Titlis is Central Switzerland’s biggest winter and summer vacation destination and one of Switzerland’s top 10 ski resorts. Towered over by 3,239-meter-high Mount Titlis, the village of Engelberg is famous for its 12th-century Benedictine monastery, where monks still live and work today.

In the summer, the area is a popular base for mountain biking, hiking, golfing, and mountaineering, while the deep powder of the winter months lures skiers and snowboarders.

If you’re visiting Lucerne in the winter, the Mount Titlis Eternal Snow Half-Day Trip is a fun way to experience the beautiful Alpine scenery here as well as some snow-based activities. This 5.5-hour tour takes you to the top of the 3,020-meter summit of Mount Titlis, where you can try snow tubing, explore the Glacier Cave, take a cliff walk, and ride on a gondola and the Ice Flyer chairlift to see breathtaking views of the Bernese Alps.
