Morning light slides over Geneva as your private van eases onto the highway—city glass gives way to folded fields and the Alps rising like a promise ahead. The drive toward Engelberg is part procession, part preview: villages thin out, pastures steepen, and the road climbs toward Engelberg at roughly 1,000 m before the Titlis Rotair swings you up another two thousand meters to the summit.
