Titlis-Seilbahn

The Titlis cable car is an aerial lift system that connects Engelberg to Mount Titlis, climbing through multiple stations to reach an elevation of 3,020 meters (9,900 feet). The journey passes through several distinct cable car sections that together provide access to the high alpine terrain.

The system was developed in stages, with the Rotair section introduced in 1992 as a technological breakthrough. This rotating cable car section represented an important advancement in mountain transport engineering.

The cable car infrastructure supports winter sports traditions in central Switzerland, providing access to 82 kilometers of ski slopes throughout the season.

The ride involves boarding successive cable car sections with straightforward instructions at each station. Wait times can be longer during peak seasons, so arriving early in the day is a good idea.

The Rotair section rotates on its axis during the journey, offering a 360-degree view of the alpine landscape. This gentle rotation lets passengers see all sides of the surrounding terrain without changing position.
