Description
Your day begins with pickup from Zurich by a private driver, heading south through Central Switzerland. Experience views of lakes, rolling hills, and snow-capped peaks along the way.
First, explore Lucerne’s iconic landmarks. Walk across the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), built in 1333 and noted for its painted wooden beams. Wander the Old Town’s painted façades and elegant squares, and visit the Lion Monument, a poignant sculpture.
If time permits, take a one-hour optional boat cruise on Lake Lucerne, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding mountains including Rigi, Pilatus, and Stanserhorn.
Next, travel to Engelberg village at the base of Mount Titlis. The route offers striking alpine scenery with meadows, farmhouses, and glacier-covered peaks.
From Engelberg, board the Titlis Xpress cable car to Trübsee, then transfer to the Stand mid-station. Complete the ascent on the TITLIS Rotair, the world’s first rotating gondola, providing 360° views of the Alps. At 3,238 meters altitude, explore the Glacier Cave, walk the Cliff Walk suspension bridge, or ride the Ice Flyer chairlift over the glacier.
After descending, enjoy a brief stroll or refreshment in Engelberg before returning to Zurich via a peaceful drive past lakes and forests.
