Activities on Mt Titlis in Winter/Summer

Short summary – read this first

A traveler named Rohan is planning a trip to Mt. Titlis on April 21st and is confused about the seasonal activities, especially regarding snow fun like sledding and snow tubing. He wants to know if he needs to take the IceFlyer chairlift that day and what additional experiences it offers beyond just the view.

Key takeaways:
  • In winter, snow tubing is at Trübsee, but in summer, it moves to the top of Mount Titlis, accessed only by the IceFlyer chairlift.
  • Check with staff upon arrival for the current location of snow tubing activities, as this can vary yearly.
  • The IceFlyer chairlift offers a thrilling ride over the glacier, which is an experience on its own, especially in summer.

    Hi All,

    I was going through the activities of Mt Titlis and I must admit I am confused reading on their website.

    Our planned date to visit Titlis is 21st April ( Weather supporting).

    Now,

    Titlis website has 2 schedules, one each for Winter and Summer however I couldn’t locate a clear demarcation of Winter and Summer. Is there one date when Summer activities are started ?

    The reason I am getting into these details are,

    My understanding is that, to enjoy the snow fun ( say sledge and snow tubing etc), I need to take the IceFlyer Chair lift upto the glacier park.

    In winter, the snow park is at TRÜBSEE and is listed as free on the website brochure hence I am wondering why should I buy the ticket for IceFlyer if I travel on 21st April ?

    So the question is

    Why does one take the Ice Flyer chairlift ? What does it take me to ? Is it the view only or there is more which I am missing ?

    Thanks

    Hello Rohan,

    As you correctly say, the snow tubing activity in winter is located on the Trübsee level and in summer on the top on Mount Titlis, because it’s the only place where there’s snow. When it’s on the top of the mountain, the only way to get there is by taking the Ice Flyer chair lift, which in the summer months is “just” the experience of the chair lift itself which passes over the glacier on the mountain in a 10 minute round trip (quite thrilling if you’ve never ridden one!)

    As for your personal trip, you would have to ask upon arrival where the Snow tubing is currently located, as this is different each year.

    I was last on Mount Titlis a week ago and the snow tubing was still on Trübsee, but as said, check upon arrival.

    Hope this answers your question.
