▶ Titlis Summit Titlis
At 3,020m above sea level, Titlis is the only one among the three famous mountains in Lucerne to see the ice cap. Interlaken Jungfrau is also a great place for unplanned travelers. The ice palace built through glaciers, the Cliff Walk that connects the peaks with rocking rocks, and the ability to sled on the ice cap are the charms of Titlis.
▶ Lake Trübsee
If you're visiting Titlis in the summer, it's a good idea to take a break at Treps on your way down. It is a lake in the middle of the mountain, where you can fully enjoy the relaxation of Switzerland. There are rowboats on the lake, and each one pays for what they feel.
