Titlis Glacier, Alpine glacier in Obwalden and Nidwalden, Switzerland

The Titlis Glacier extends across two cantons, featuring a massive ice formation at an elevation of approximately 3,000 meters in the Swiss Alps.

The glacier contains ice layers dating back 5,000 years, providing scientists with valuable data about climate patterns and environmental changes through millennia.

Local communities in Obwalden and Nidwalden maintain winter sports traditions on the glacier, organizing annual skiing competitions and mountain festivals.

Visitors access the glacier through a three-stage cable car system from Engelberg, with the final rotating section offering 360-degree views of the surroundings.

A 150-meter illuminated tunnel network runs 10 meters below the glacier surface, allowing visitors to walk through the ancient ice structure.
