About this audio guide
This guide to the Titlis Rotair in Engelberg starts with designer Luigi Colani, flown in around nineteen ninety to shape the world's first rotating cable car cabin for this Swiss mountain. It follows why his vision was scrapped, the two apprentices who won the job instead, and a Swiss regulator's objection that shaped this cabin for over two decades. For the best view of the mechanism at the center of that story, look up at the cabin roof as you ride.
