Straddling the border between Obwalden and Berne is Switzerland’s mighty Mount Titlis, standing 3,238 meters high and overlooking the two cantons. You’ll arrive at the foot of the mountain by way of a majestic gondola ride from Engelberg, where the epic ascent begins on a cliff walk through an underground tunnel. From there, Europe’s highest suspension bridge will lead you all the way to the summit where a breathtaking view awaits.
