★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,381 reviews · from $214

Ride the Rotair cable car to Mount Titlis, explore its ice grotto and Cliff Walk, and enjoy a short guided visit to Lucerne from Zurich.

“Great day trip overall. Quick stop in Lucerne with an hour or so to explore, the off up to Mount Titlis. I completed the several options / places to see while up the top including having so lunch. Ran out of things to do with an hour to wait for the return coach alongside serval other guests. Perhaps rebalances the time towards Lucerne? But overall great trip, 100% recommend! The coach was clean and modern, only beware no food or drinks on board and the coach’s toilet was not available.”
