Trübsee: a Hidden Gem on the Titlis Mountain

The Trübsee is a turquoise colored mountain lake halfway up the Titlis mountain in Engelberg, Switzerland. It lies 1795 m (5899 feet) high and can be reached by the Titlis Xpress cable car. The valley station of the cable car is located at Gerschnistrasse 12 in Engelberg. The gondola passes the mid-station Trübsee on its way to Stand. At this mid-station you can also find Berghotel Trübsee and Restaurant Alpstübli.

The Trübsee has a lot of activities to offer for children and adults. During the summer months you can fly 500 metres down the Flyer Zipline. Use the trampoline or jump tower at the Titlis Adventure Park. Hire a rowing boat or kayak and explore the lake. Go mountain biking on the different trails around the Trübsee or rent a scooter bike which require no pedaling.

You can also find many hiking trails around the Trübsee and an adventure playground close to the lake. At the playground are also various barbecue spots and benches to have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful views of the Swiss Alps.

During the winter you can try the minibobs, balancer and snowtubes at the snow park next to Trübsee Alpine Lodge. If you are looking for more excitement then you should try the snowmobiles at the Titlis SnowXpark. This park has different circuits to choose from, the longest is around 1 km.
