stunning views geographically speaking this is south west switzerland towards italy i do recommend wearing warm clothes before you go up even during spring and fall as you can see it was very clear allowing us to see 80 percent of switzerland including the famous swiss mountains jungfrau monk and iger now these are advanced binoculars they will show you the name on every mountain including the height so you'll get a full idea of what the entire alps look like these beautiful blue skies allow you to see germany in the far distance and on the southern side you can even see as far as italy now there is a little secret here can you spot it this is called the buddha because it looks very similar to a buddha statue once you pass this enormous telecommunications tower you will arrive at the titleist cliff walk alright so here is the famous cliff walk the highest suspension bridge in europe at a height of 3041 meters 3 kilometers above sea level with a 500 meter drop and 150 heart stopping steps it goes straight down it's so steep and here is mount titlis the highest mountain here in engelberg what on a nice summer day you can actually walk all the way to the summit at the end of the cliffwalk you will find a perfect location for some solid photography do check the titleist cliff walk webcam to make sure the weather is clear before you go up links below [Applause] next stop the titleist glacier cave here you can dive into a world of ice oh my god [Applause] wow the walls radiate a strange but beautiful turquoise blue light caused by refracted sunlight the temperature in the cave is a steady minus two degrees celsius all year round so yeah right now we're in the ice cave how do you like it hugo it's cold but it's doable it's doable very very beautiful since this ice cave may be gone in 10 years you don't want to run a risk and not experience this anymore so make sure you get your butt out here to still experience this in its full state after visiting the peak grab a few snacks at the titleist panorama restaurant now that's a nicely stuffed croissant they don't shy away from pumping this sucker full of chocolate it's not just regular chocolate it's kali perhaps you will be in the mood for some swiss traditional photography [Music] there is even a massive lint chocolate store mango what mango that is crazy bacon mix what did you get cappuccino balls cappuccino balls vitalis facilities have been recently renovated thus everything looks brand spanking new from cable cars to restaurants holy moly that is so steep all right now the highlight of visiting ellenberg is of course going to be the slopes [Music] titles has one of the longest slopes in the entire world the longest one being 12 kilometers which can easily take you about an hour to conquer my brother was having an absolute blast it had been at least seven years since we both snowboarded together in the alps [Music] do you like titles yes i liked it nice place eh it was just beautiful 3020 meters enjoying the sunrise [Music] titleist has some of the best slopes i've ever been on although if you start from the top of titles it can be quite a bit challenging there are some serious steep corners here so intermediate or advanced snowboarding skills i highly recommend it if you really want to do mount titles properly in total engelberg has more than 82 kilometers of downhill slopes and 14 ski lifts making it the biggest ski resort in central switzerland eventually you will find skirjita stunt all right it's noon it's time for some lunch at this stun the ideal spot for an epic swiss lunch now these are some local dishes we have in here this is the alpert and the spazzy fonda these dishes look fantastic they're 25 swish franks each so this consists out of an egg cheese and rusty which is like fried grated potatoes how is it hugo it's great oh my [Music] oh man this is so rich so delicious you get true value for your money at this place [Music] on your way down titlis make a pit stop at snow x park for a bunch of fun snow activities engelberg is filled with fun activities for young and old this is the snow tubing track depending on availability you can sometimes find a complex of igloos next to the toboggan track where you can enjoy ice skating through these corridors work on your figure skating moves and improve on your speed skating skills called

your way out at this brand new souvenir shop from sweaters to cute swiss bells apres that's the exit and the opera ski after you conquered mount titlis you gotta celebrate and treat yourself to a few snaps at the apraski's chalet at the foot of the mountain [Music] for the most fun snow activity in engleburg check out mount bruni located across titlis for some airboarding i've never heard of this uh activity but it looks quite a lot of fun we're going down the slopes with a blow-up boat kind of thingy it's like a little mattress the profile so that breaks it's the braking mechanism that's

entire experience is 40 swiss francs for the bruni lift pass plus 15 swiss francs to rent yourself an airboard this is a totally unexpected activity it's a lot more fun than i anticipated this is crazy the trickiest activity in engelberg for us was cross-country skiing known in the local language but if you are familiar with ice skating or rollerblading cross-country skiing shouldn't be too difficult [Applause] okay come on focus long alpha is not as easy as it seems there's quite a few uh bumps on the right a long heaven rental package including skis boots and poles starts at 37 swiss francs once you conquered titlis and bruni it is time to explore the village of engelberg engelberg was founded in 1120 by monks and has a population of just four thousand alongside the main shopping street you'll find the tall museum it's one of the oldest buildings in town it's over 300 years old decked out with the family shields from engelberg unfortunately only open on wednesdays and is covered by the swiss travel pass engelberg was founded around a medieval monastery this beautiful monastery is still operated by monks known locally as closer engelberg unfortunately the engleburg abbey burned down a couple of times but luckily it is still here and more gorgeous than ever [Music] one of the most fascinating things these 10 000 orga pipes making it the biggest orga in switzerland perhaps the most beautiful church in switzerland here in engleburg the monks practice a unique wood inlay art to create these magnificent collages out of tiny pieces of wood alright so now it's time to check out the local cheese factory it's conveniently located right next to the church now you may not know but engelberg means angel mountain in english the smell of cheese there's nothing more delightful than cheese they have a wide selection here as well all the mountain cheese definitely the best place to pick up your own swiss cheese fondue set for home what about some beer
