Titlis

Titlis is a prominent mountain massif in the Uri Alps of central Switzerland. It lies near the town of Engelberg in the canton of Obwalden. The main summit, Titlis, reaches 3,238 meters above sea level and forms a high glaciated ridge that includes the Titlis Glacier on its northern slopes. The glacier is one of the most visited in the central Swiss Alps and supports a year-round tourism industry.

Access to the summit and the glacier is provided by the Titlis Cableway, a multi-stage system that begins in Engelberg and ascends to the high plateau. A highlight of the cable system is the Rotair, the world’s first revolving cable car, which completes a 360-degree rotation during the ascent to offer views of the surrounding Alps.

In addition to panoramic views, the Titlis area features the Titlis Glacier Cave, an ice cave formed within the glacier, and the Titlis Cliff Walk, a high suspension bridge at the summit area that offers extensive views. The region supports a range of activities: winter skiing and snowboarding on the glacier, summer hiking and mountaineering, and sightseeing.
