Those looking for an adrenaline-fuelled adventure will also have the chance to take the Ice Flyer to the Titlis Glacier Park.

Great view from top of Mt. Titlis and 55 degrees!!! - This tour was awesome because of my guide - JONAS. There is not as much to this tour as I had in my mind from reading the description. Be prepared - there is hiking. The top of Mt. Titlis is beautiful and quite a relief from the 90 degree weather in Lucerne in July. Walking across the suspended bridge and through the glacier were highlights and notably remarkable! The cheese tasting is not an organized tasting, per se. It consisted of Jonas bringing cheeses, bread and meat and sitting on a bench tasting the cheese. It was quite good but I did have in my mind we were going to a cheese factory where I would see how they make cheese - this was my fault. Again, Jonas made the trip. Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and he knew exactly where he was going. Highly recommend any tour by Jonas!

Wonderful tour of Mount Titlis - Our family just wanted to commend our tour guide, Lina. Lina curated our tour from Lucerne to Engleberg and Mount Titlis today. She was a fantastic guide for our family, extremely knowledgeable of all of the areas we toured, as well as the train system (she helped explain some questions we had), and made sure that all of us had a great day!
Thank you for assigning her to our tour.
