Trip to Switzerland: Day 4 - Mt.Titlis & Luzerne
Day 4 of the trip and we set out to the gorgeous Mt.Titlis. We had to change multiple trains to get there. We went from Interlaken to Engelberg (where the 2007 ski world championships were held). From Engelberg we took the cable car to Mt.Titlis. We managed with the swiss pass till Engelberg but had to pay for our trip to Mt.Titlis.The cable car took us half way up the mountain. From there we took the first rotating cable car in the world - RotAir. It was amazing. The view was mind blowing. Mt.Titlis is 3500 odd metres above see level. It was mightly cold on top, about -8 degrees. We enjoyed the scenary and took snaps. We also visited the Ice Cave on Mt.Titlis. Had some fries and hot chocolate in the cafeteria on top. I also managed to pick up Movenpick ice cream ;-)
Trip to Mt.Titlis was a lot more fun than Jungfrau. Both the journey as well as the scenary. En route to Engelberg the train took us in parallel to lakes and mountains. It was remarkable.

We got back to Engelberg and took the train to Luzerne. Luzerne is a beautiful town 2 hours from Zurich. The lion's monument and Kapel Brucke (Chapel Bridge) are the important sight seeing spots. We managed to cover both within an hours time as they were very close to the station. We got back to Interlaken from Luzerne.
We were dead tired at the end of the trip. Checked into the hostel and snoozed straight away.
One place we missed was Mt.Pilatus. If we had stayed in Luzerne instead of Interlaken, we could have seen Mt.Pilatus and Mt.Titlis. Mt.Pilatus is very close to Luzerne. It is something which travellers can consider.
