The story of Mount Titlis

Mount Titlis rises to 3,238 metres above Engelberg in central Switzerland. In 1992 the Titlis Rotair became the world's first rotating cable car, turning 360 degrees as it climbs over the glacier.

At the summit station, visitors walk through an illuminated glacier cave, play in the snow all year round and ride the Ice Flyer chairlift over crevasses. It is one of the most popular Alpine excursions for families from the Gulf and India.
