Description

The descent from Mt. Titlis to Engelberg via the Galtiberggletscher is the longest, most alpine and most difficult descent in the Titlis area. It is one of the longest freeride runs in the Alps. The impressive experience of riding beneath the north face of Mount Titlis is only achievable for expert freeriders.

Comments

Descent from 3020m.üM - 1020m.ü.M Alpine descent! The "Traverse" is dangerous and extends over a cliff with significant risk.  The "Graben" couloir is a dead-end! It is highly recommended to hire a mountain guide
