Snow on Mt.Titlis in summer?
A traveler named Monzi is planning a trip to Switzerland in July and wants to know if Mount Titlis will have a good amount of snow during this time. They're also looking for recommendations for other mountains with substantial snow besides the Matterhorn.
- Expect snow year-round at Mount Titlis, even in July.
- Consider visiting Jungfraujoch for potential snow in summer, though it may feel touristy.
- Be aware that July might not offer the 'winter wonderland' experience you might hope for in the Alps.

Hi Monzi,
Welcome to MySwissAlps!
If you are travelling from Sweden, please be aware that Sweden is one of the countries on the high-risk list which require travellers to self-quarantine for 10 days upon arrival. This new rule comes into effect on 6 July 2020. For the latest updates, please follow this thread: http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/does-the-corona-virus-affect-trips-to-switzerland
As for your question regarding Mount Titlis, at more than 3000m above sea level, you can expect to see snow all year round on Titlis, including in the summer. You can find more information about Mt Titlis here: http://www.myswissalps.com/titlis

My advice would be to change your plans. Snow stays on the very highest parts of Alpine peaks in summer, but not in ‘huge’ amounts. Mid summer is not the time to visit the Alps to see a ‘winter wonderland’ snow effect, so I think you could be disappointed if you travel in July for snow.
You are not correct about the Matterhorn – it has little snow on it in mid summer, so you may have seen a winter or spring picture.
Jungfrau should have snow in the summer. While you cannot reach the peak of Jungfrau you can go to Jungfraujoch. I have never wanted to go to Jungfraujoch personally so I don’t have any direct experience but I believe it does have snow in summertime. If you look at my thumbnail photo of the Matterhorn you will see very little snow as 1960man suggests. The photo was taken in early September. I have seen a fair amount of snow on the Gornergrat peak occasionally in summer but usually not much.
Of course if you aren’t allowed in Switzerland it is a moot point.

Yes, there is generally some snow under foot at Jungfraujoch, although arguably too much like a theme park nowadays
