Itinerary

Your tour begins at Zurich Sihlquai Bus Station

Meet your guide near Zurich HB and check in at Sihlquai. Settle into your seat on the coach, and get ready for an epic day of fun and views in central Switzerland.

Drive along the shores of Lake Lucerne

The road starts to feel quieter, greener, and more Alpine by the minute. With Lake Lucerne peeking between trees and hillsides, your guide shares both fascinating stories about the area and important information for your day ahead.

See Lucerne’s landmarks on a driving tour

Arrive in Lucerne and cruise past storybook highlights like Chapel Bridge, the Town Hall, the Jesuit Church, and the KKL. It’s the kind of quick, satisfying overview that makes the city feel instantly familiar.

Spend free time in Lucerne’s Old Town

Step into the Old Town to wander painted façades, peek into shop windows, and follow cobbled lanes wherever they lead. Grab something warm to eat, pick up a Swiss keepsake, and enjoy the easy rhythm of a lakeside city.

Ride up from Engelberg by aerial cable car

Then it’s on to Engelberg, where the valley gives way to sky. The cable car lifts you above rooftops and forests, and suddenly the world turns wide and bright, with ridgelines and snowfields stretching out like a postcard.

Explore Mount Titlis’ snow-and-ice world

At around 9,934 ft (3,028 m), the air feels crisp and clean, and the landscape looks carved from winter. Walk the Titlis Cliff Walk for that heart-in-your-throat view, step into the Glacier Cave’s blue glow, and, weather permitting, ride the Ice Flyer toward Glacier Park for tubing.

Your tour ends at Zurich Sihlquai Bus Station

Descend from the summit and settle back into the coach, cheeks a little cold, camera a little fuller. You return to Zurich in the evening at Sihlquai Bus Station near Zurich HB, the same spot your adventure began.
