Really enjoyed this day! Rolfe was our guide and he was so lovely and had a great sense of humour. It was a pretty chilly and snowy day when we decided to do this excursion but we still enjoyed our time up on Titlis! You have plenty of time to explore and do the activities on the mountain. We didn’t get to do the snowboarding as there was not enough snow when we went. The ice flyer and suspension bridge were really fun to do as well in a snow storm! Just be prepared that the weather can change very quickly so dress warm and enjoy your time whilst you are there!

This is An excellent Tour and very well organised with great information by tourguide about what we're passing. The tour shows you scenic views especially of Mount Titlis I'll leave you to find out. So happy and glad I went on this and will stay in the memory for sometime .
