About this audio guide
This guide to Titlis above Engelberg, near Lucerne, follows the engineering puzzle behind the mountain's cable car in the early nineteen nineties: how do you make a cabin turn while it hangs from a moving line, high above the ice. Along the way it traces the older lifts that first opened up the summit, and the glacier cave still hollowed into ice thousands of years old. Listen as you ride up from Stand and watch the horizon begin to shift.
