The rotating cable car was my highlight, for sure. Went with my wife, and we lucked out with clear weather. The only letdown was the crowds—gets really busy around midday. Dress warm, even if it’s sunny in the valley. Cliff walk is a blast if you’re not scared of heights.

Mt. Titlis is just legendary. I went solo and met some cooool folks on the bus. Chair lift is wild (not for the faint-hearted lol). Cliff walk is a must, and the air is so fresh up there. Cafe at the summit does a killer apple strudel. Staff was friendly, answered my random questions about Swiss cheese. Would do again!

We took the kids (9 & 12) and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The cable car ride up had them glued to the windows, and the spinning gondola was a hit. I was worried they’d be cold (it’s ice and snow even in summer!) but there’s a cozy cafe at the top where we defrosted with hot chocolate. The Cliff Walk was a bit nerve-wracking for me, but my husband and kids basically raced across. We didn’t make it on the Skyflyer—line was massive by 11am. If you have kids, bring gloves (wish someone told me that). Also, lots of souvenir shops for last minute gifts. Would recommend for families, just start early!

So... the mountain is EPIC, not gonna lie. Went solo cuz my friends bailed last min. Weather was kinda meh—clouds everywhere—but still totally worth it. The cable car gets packed tho, so be ready for some elbows. Loved the bridge (sooo shaky lol), but I wish there were more signs in English, got lost trying to find the ice cave. Staff was super chill and pointed me the right way. If you like snow, this is your spot, even in September.

Good day trip from Lucerne. Went with my cousin. The cable car is a little old but works fine. Glacier cave was a fun surprise. It got chilly at the summit, so def bring an extra sweater. Loved the little gift shop with all the Swiss chocolate.

Went with my partner, and we both loved the scenery. The cable cars are packed but efficient. The chair lift is open air, so bring a hat if you’re sensitive to sun. Cliff Walk was scary but fun. Don’t bother with the souvenir shop unless you’re into cow bells, lol.

Brought my two teens and they LOVED it. Didn’t expect snow in September but there it was! The rotating gondola was their favorite, mine was the glacier cave (so pretty). Only thing: bathrooms at the top were crowded and not the cleanest. Otherwise, a fab day.

Can’t believe I finally did Mt. Titlis! Went with my bestie, and we did all the things—cable car, Skyflyer, glacier cave, the whole shebang. The snow up top is SOOO sparkly, even in September. Cliff Walk was a bit scary but we took tons of pics. Guide was really friendly and answered all our silly questions. The only bummer: it got super busy by noon, so go early if you want fewer people in your photos. Still, worth every franc.
