Mount Titlis - 21st June

Staying at Sachin’s place at Zurich was just to save our 3 night’s hotel

expense. After lot of discussion & surfing internet we came to final

decision that on 4th day of our trip we will go to [Mount

Titlis](http://www.titlis.ch/ “Mount Titlis”) via Luzern in order to

make best use of our Swiss flexi pass.

On boarding the train from Luzern to Engelberg we realized that it’s

more of Desi train. From train station, routes are well marked for

heading towards Mount Titlis where one can see all Mr. & Mrs. Desi with

family. There are few other Asian visitors also but they were well out

numbered… thanks to our Hindi movie director who made our recent

heroines dance in the valleys & snows of Switzerland.

There is even a small Indian take away restaurant at foot of mountain

next to the ticket office. Check

menu

here. The number of Indian visitors has so much effect on Mount Titlis

that you will find signs in Hindi along with other international

languages and even there is “Indian Specialties” waiting for you at the

top.

There are three cable cars that take you to the top of Titlis via four

sections. The last section is in a world’s first rotating cable car. The

top is at 10000 ft with glacier all around. We took a ski chair lift

(Ice Flyer) to reach Snow Park where one can enjoy snow in the month of

June.

The weather in the mountains is always unpredictable. It was a sudden

change in the weather, while going up it was very sunny with blue sky

and later it became dark. After spending an hour it started to drizzle

so we thought it might be better idea to come down to Engelberg.

We had our “take away” lunch in the center park near to the railway

station. On our way back from Engelberg it was a heavy down pour all the

way to Luzern. But nothing stops our spirit, on reaching Luzern we

strolled around the old town of Luzern.
