Mt Titlis, Switzerland



Based in the mountains of the Uri Alps, Mount Titlis is on the border between cantons of Obwalden and Berne, Switzerland. 
Weather you're in the mood for snow or just a casual hike through the lush forests, Titles offers it all.
The cable car ride to the heights provides a beautiful view of the lush green mountains and the cows grazing down below, offering a view of four european countries touching the swiss border. Once atop Titlis, train rides are on offer, with frequent stops providing a view of the glaciers at the top. 
Make sure to take a walk through the ice caves, The cave's 150-metre-long walkway branches out in several directions and descends 20 metres below the surface of the glacier. The hazy atmosphere is the result of tiny air pockets in the ice, and the blue colour is caused by the refraction of light.
Exploring the glacier cave is a cool experience. The temperature inside the cave remains a frosty -1.5˚C.m
