Description Titlis – Engelberg

From Engelberg, the eight-person gondola Titlis Xpress takes you over Trübsee (1,800 m) up to the Stand station (2,428 m). It is accompanied by a funicular and two aerial cableways, which are only in operation during busy periods. From Stand, you float up with the Rotair, the world’s first revolving cable car, over the Titlis Glacier to Klein-Titlis at 3,020 m. Up here, you can choose between several restaurants and small shops, and visit the ice grotto and the Titlis Cliff Walk.

From the top, a wide and relatively steep run—remarkably beautiful for a glacier—leads down to the Ice-Flyer. The Ice-Flyer is a detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods. On the ride up, you can closely observe the Titlis Glacier and even catch a glimpse into the crevasses.

From the mountain station, you can glide over a connecting trail to the Titlis glacier drag lift, where you’ll find more intermediate runs. From the drag lift, it’s also easy to return to the base station of the Ice-Flyer, which then takes you back up to the Rotair mountain station.

Further down to Stand, the challenging Rotegg run leads through two massive rock towers and is very steep in its upper section. From Stand, wide, intermediate runs descend over the Laubersgrat down to Trübsee.

From Trübsee, you can either head back up towards Titlis or swing over Trübsee with the four-seater chairlift Trübsee-Hopper. Following the Trübsee-Hopper, the detachable four-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods Trübsee-Jochpass takes you up to Jochpass, where the detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods and heated seats from Engstlenalp also ends.

The detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods Jochstock Xpress takes you even higher up to Jochstock. The runs around Jochpass are mostly intermediate to easy and lead over treeless slopes back down to Engstlenalp and Trübsee.

From Trübsee, you can start the valley run down to Engelberg. After a short ascent, the very easy run leads down to Untertrübsee. About halfway down, the intermediate run from Obertrübsee crosses, which can be reached by a small aerial cableway (8 people) from Untertrübsee.

At the intersection, you can decide whether to take the easy standard run or the intermediate Kanonenrohr run down to Untertrübsee. In Untertrübsee, there is still a drag lift operating, and the valley run continues as an easy piste all the way to the Engelberg base station. In total, it’s an impressive 12 km (including the Trübsee-Hopper) and about 2,000 vertical meters from Titlis down to Engelberg.

At the base station, you can round off your ski day with some après-ski in the chalet.
