Zurich to Lucerne and Titlis with beginner ski practice at Trübsee, Rotair views, Glacier Cave and cliff walk options, and snow tubing.
“Overall, it was a good experience. The scenery throughout the trip was beautiful, and visiting Lucerne was definitely a highlight, such a charming place to explore with a really scenic route getting there. However, the skiing portion felt quite disorganised. We were only given about an hour for the ski session, and the schedule was tight because we had to head back to the bus shortly after. It also wasn’t clearly explained where we needed to go for the skiing activity, so we ended up having to figure things out on our own. Despite that, the day as a whole was enjoyable, especially the chance to see Lucerne and the…”

Guided snowshoe tour from Interlaken with rentals and transport, quiet winter trails, and panoramic views of Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau.
“Great views, good activity. Can be a bit physically demanding but nothing too much. Biggest issue was dressing for the change in temperatures/elevation. Due to activity and elevation, got significantly warmer the further up the mountain but cold at the start. Helpful and knowledgable guides. Very easy logistics with Outdoor- great company to book activities through.”

Half-day coach and cable-car trip from Lucerne to Titlis Eternal Snow, Glacier Cave, Cliff Walk, and Glacier Park snowtubing in English.
“The experience on Mt. Titlis was great. The tour organizer not so much. Let me explain: I made a last minute booking online for this tour the day before. The booking went through no problem so I figured I had a plan for the day. Then the next day about 3 hours before the tour start I got a WhatsApp message that they were overbooked and needed to cancel or postpone. That left me scrambling. I asked a local tour guide and although they also didn't have space they helpfully mentioned that it's quite an easy to visit Mt. Titlis on your own just from the train station. We just…”

“Lucerne is beautiful! Surrounded by water with beautiful bridges, buildings and an amazingly gorgeous cathedral. Very walkable area! Plenty of time to explore. The cable ride up Mount Titlis is breathtaking. It was foggy at the top so we could not see out which was unfortunate but still overall awesome for the experience. Highly recommend!”
Private family ski lessons in Zermatt at Sunnegga. Tailored coaching for up to 5, with 3 hours on the slopes and help with gear and passes.

Besides all the simpathy and her skills, she helped to rent the equipment at the shop and also to buy the tickets for the funicular to Sunnegga station. My wife and my daughter loved everything! This activity without any doubt was one of the best I planned for my family. Thanks again Lucy!!!”
