Everybody does visit Titlis Mountain to walk upon the glacier. There you share this experience with thousands of visitors. If you like this, fair enough. But there is a great alternative. On the other side of Engelberg is another impressive mountain, which we can vistite. There is a cable-car that will bring us up to the Ristis Mountain at 1600 meters above sea level. From there we can take another cable-car that will bring us to the Härzlisee (the Heart Lake) which is at 1860 meters above sea level.

Impressive panoramic terrace on Mount Ristis

From both places we have a fantastic view upon the Mount Titlis, just with less people and in a rather homely way. Also are there cozy restaurants, in which we can have a nice local meal in a peaceful setting.

 

Kathedral
Cathedral in Engelberg

In Engelberg we also can visit the great rom.-kath. Cathedral along with the adjoining Monastery. There is also a show room, in which they demonstrate how the Swiss cheese is produced. In the same place is a small shop, which sells all kinds of local goods.
