The last section to the summit takes around five minutes. The view at almost 3,000 meters above sea level is unique: rugged rock faces alternate with deep crevasses and glistening snowfields.

11.45 a.m.
Tour of the Titlis at 3,020 meters above sea level with a visit to the glacier grotto
and the Cliff Walk and impressive views of the surrounding mountains

The mighty heart of the glacier beats in the turquoise-blue twilight of the glacier grotto, where the up to 5,000-year-old ice freezes the air you breathe into clouds of mist. On the 150-metre-long path 10 meters below the surface, you can feel it under your feet and touch it with your hands.

At 3,041 meters above sea level, Europe's highest suspension bridge leads over the south face to the top station of the Ice Flyer glacier lift. 150 steps above the icy abyss, while the wind whistles and your heart beats in your throat. An exciting adventure that you will never forget and for which you will be rewarded with a unique view of the majestic mountain scenery.

In the evening, when the day guests have left the valley, an incomparable silence spreads and the hotel treats its guests to a delicious 4-course menu in the cozy restaurant.
