Mt.Titlis is near Engelberg, so if you’re travelling by train you should stop at Engelberg. From Lucern, it’s around 1 hour and 45 minutes. It turns out; there are different mountains around this area. But since most people in Indonesia talked about Mt. Titlis, we decided to go there. TIPS: Whether it’s summer or winter, it is always cold because you are thousands of meters above ground. So wear layers of clothes bring your winter hats or gloves and wear shoes that are winter appropriate. Remember, you will be playing in snow.
In Mt. Titlis there are different excursions for summer and winter. To go all the way to the top, we need to take 3 types of Gondola Rides: Engelberg – Trubsee, then we switched gondola from Trubsee-Stand, and the last one is the revolving Gondola all the way up to Mt.Titlis.

Usually, summer excursions take place in Trusbee. You can do mountain biking, devil bike and go on flower hiking trail. Since we are going all the way to the top, we’re going to do Glacier Excursions. When you ride the first Gondola Ride, you can see beautiful green meadows but you will keep going up towards the mountain so the scenery began to change into meadows of snow. And can you believe this is all happening in the summer, totally awesome! The Titlir Rotair all the way up to Mt. Titlis is also amazing because it spins 360 degrees. You can look at all the view just by staying at the place you’re standing.

My brother and I are so excited; we keep imagining doing excursions such as…
 |
| Tubing |
And also…
 |
| Riding the chair lift |
But, bad luck strikes again and all we got is this…
 |
| SNOW DAY! |
PURE WHITE SNOW! The weather was so terrible; we can’t ride any excursions. I can’t even see the view because the snow continues to pour down so everything seems to be white. White sky (because of the fog), white ground, well white everything. On the bright side, we are able to go to the Heart of the Titlis Glacier. The impressive caves allow us to go walk down through a 150 meter long tunnel and 20 meter under the glaciers surface.

Besides the excursions, you can have fun at the Titlis Photo Studio. In the studio, you can wear a Swiss Traditional costume and get your pictures taken. These clothes are made to be put on easily above your own clothes so it takes little time to prepare. The results are splendid and the background view is so realistic. I love how my pictures came out!

The day has come to an end, and we took our long Gondola Ride back down. Mt. Titlis is perfect for families. The kids will have a great time, but remember to check if the weather is good or not you’ll just waste your time going up the mountain. Nevertheless, I had a great time. I can tell people I saw snow on my summer vacation!

| Great day in Titlis |
If you prefer long hikes instead of fun excursions like these, you can visit Jungfrau mountain instead. Because my stay in Swiss is only 4 days, we didn’t have time to go there.
Stay tune for my last day in Switzerland! Our trip doesn’t stop in Swiss as our next destination will be Italy! For more information on the price and excursions of Mt.Titlis visit: www.titlis.ch
