Calling all thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies: if you are up for the challenge, a visit to Europes’ highest suspension bridge is just for you! Situated on the Titlis glacier in the Engelberg region at an altitude of 3 000 meters above sea level, nothing beats the thrill of crossing the Titlis Cliff Walk!

Constructed 500 meters off the ground, this pedestrian bridge was constructed over a period of only 5 months. Much of the material used in the construction was transported in cable cars, with larger sections being delivered by helicopter. The bridge is designed to withstand winds reaching up to 190 km/h as well as significant snowfall (around 500 tons to be exact), so the bridge is claimed to be 100 percent safe. On a clear day, it’s possible to view the glacier below as well as the Uri Alps and even part of Italy.

The Titlis Rotair gondola, which takes visitors up to the summit, is an experience in itself. The gondola revolves 360 degrees during the five-minute ascent, treating passengers to panoramic views of snow-covered mountains and sheer rock faces.

For those who are not big on heights, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy once at the summit, including a visit to the glacier cave – a fascinating look at the inside of a glacier. Winding ice tunnels lead you deep into the heart of the glacier, where temperatures reach a frosty -1.5˚C.

How to get there:
      From Lausanne/Geneva, you can go by train or car to Luzern. From Luzern, it’s possible to drive or to make use of the Engelberg Express to reach Engelberg. Trains generally depart Luzern at 10 past the hour on Track 13 and travel time from Luzern is just over an hour.
