Building where others enjoy the view

Marti Zentralschweiz has been respon­si­ble for the reali­sa­tion of struc­tural engi­neer­ing and civil engi­neer­ing works since 2023. Some 30 employ­ees are cur­rently wor­king on the Titlis.

Tightly timed construction phases

The construction programme is geared towards the short sum­mer months, during which con­crete work is pre­do­mi­nantly car­ried out due to the weather con­di­tions. The con­crete plant at the sum­mit is cur­rently run­ning at full speed. A new snow groomer hall in exposed con­crete is being built at the Titlis Tower. At the same time, the foun­da­tions for the steel struc­ture for the future south-west bypass of the moun­tain sta­tion are being laid at the moun­tain station. 

The existing tower is being dis­man­tled and rein­forced, which is expec­ted to be com­ple­ted by August. The steel con­struc­tion com­pany will then assume respon­si­bi­lity for devel­op­ing the restau­rant areas. From Octo­ber onwards, third-party com­pa­nies will com­mence with the inte­rior work to be car­ried out over the winter months, includ­ing the fit­ting of kitchens, floor cov­er­ings and inte­rior equip­ment.

Project Scope

The project consists of three main parts that together form a for­ward-look­ing over­all solu­tion:

Mountain station

In future, the new summit sta­tion will serve as a cen­tral point of arrival and ref­er­ence for vis­i­tors. The exist­ing cable car tech­nol­ogy will be retained and com­ple­mented by modern archi­tec­tu­ral elements. The food ser­vices, panoramic path, retail levels and infra­struc­ture for guest oper­a­tions will be com­pletely ren­o­vated.

Titlis Tower

The directional beam tower cur­rently in place is around 250 metres from the sta­tion. The robust steel struc­ture will be expanded by two new build­ing ele­ments, which will fea­ture the same indus­trial design. The tower symbo­lises the centre of Switzer­land in the form of a cross. 

Peak station (Line II)

A second single-track aerial cable­way will be built from the Stand inter­me­diate sta­tion to the sum­mit to sup­port the logis­tics of the con­struc­tion pro­ject and for sub­se­quent evac­u­a­tion pur­poses. Once the work is com­plete, it will be used as a per­ma­nent logis­tics path­way and an emer­gency con­nec­tion.
