Mount Titlis

On the 10th May 2008, Faridah, Zul, Baby Firdaus, Lyn and  myself went to Mount Titlis. It is located in the canton of Obwalden which is about 2 hours journey by train. We took a train from Brugg to Zürich where we switched train to Luzern (or Lucerne in English). We again changed train to Engelberg which is the last stop at 1,015m before proceeding to snow capped top of Mount Titlis using the cable car system. All of us got the Tageskarte which is a day pass to use all of the transportation system under the SBB. It is considerably a lot cheaper than getting a return ticket to Engelberg. The railway system is really efficient here. Rarely we need to wait at the gleis (platform) to switch trains. It is operated by Schweizerische Bundesbahnen (Swiss Federal Railways). By the way, the SBB CFF FFS you see in the picture means German: SBB, Schweizerische Bundesbahnen; French: CFF, Chemins de fer fédéraux suisses; Italian: FFS, Ferrovie federali svizzere (they speak German on the east side of Switzerland, French to the west and Italian to the south).

In Luzern, before getting to another train to Engelberg.
