Titlis (also ''Mount Titlis'') is a mountain of the Uri Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Obwalden and Berne. At 3,238 metres above sea level, it is the highest summit of the range north of the Susten Pass, between the Bernese Oberland and Central Switzerland. It is mainly accessed from Engelberg (Obwalden) on the north side and is famous as the site of the world's first revolving cable car. The cable car system connects Engelberg to the summit of ''Klein Titlis'' (3,028 m) through the three stages of ''Gerschnialp'' (1,262 m), ''Trübsee'' (1,796 m) and ''Stand'' (2,428 m). The last part of cable car way leads above the glacier. At ''Klein Titlis'', it is possible to visit an illuminated glacier cave from an entrance within the cable-car station, which also includes shops and restaurants. The Titlis Cliff Walk, the highest elevation suspension bridge in Europe, opened in December 2012, giving views across the Alps. ==Geography== Titlis straddles the border between Obwalden and Berne. The main summit of Titlis (sometimes distinguished by the name ''Gross Titlis'') and Klein Titlis are both located between the municipalities of Engelberg on the north and Gadmen on the south. The Titlis massif is also partially located in Nidwalden, where the highest point of that canton is found: the Rotstöckli (2,901 m). Titlis itself is the highest point in Obwalden and in the valley of Engelberg. East of Titlis is the Grassen, where the borders between the cantons of Obwalden, Berne and Uri converge. The Geographical centre of Switzerland is situated about 15 kilometers west of the mountain. Titlis is the highest mountain in the portion of the Uri Alps north of the Susten Pass. This part of the range is located between the valleys of the Hasli (west) and the Reuss (east), thus separating the waters feeding the basins of the Aar and Reuss respectively. On the north side the valley of Engelberg (''Engelbergertal'') is drained by the Engelberger Aa, a tributary of the Reuss. The valley is located southwards from Lake Lucerne. The northern side of the massif is covered by the Titlis Glacier (''Titlisgletscher''). The south steep and rocky face rises above the Wenden Glacier. The east side overlooks a glacier named ''Firnalpeligletscher''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Titlis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
