Hi.. cheryil.. sorry for the late response. I will assist you to see both the mountains in one day. Board the train from Lucerne towards Engelberg from Platform 13. You will reach Engelberg by 8.55am You will get a shuttle bus to Titlis Cable car station. There are lot of cable cars so dont worry about any delays. You will get it immediately. after 15minutes you will reach the stand and from there you need to board the Rotair Gondola. Just 5 minutes later you will be in Titlis. Spend 1-2 hours and return from Titlis. ( Keep in mind that every 1hr only a train is available from Engleberg to Titlis and vice versa) So plan accordingly so that you don't miss the train that leaves from Engelberg to Lucerne at 12:01 hours. You will reach lucerne by 13:00 hours. Have your lunch if you are hungry. Say 1 hour Then take a train/bus to Alpnachstad or Kriens ( going to alpnachstad means first travel in Cogway and then return via cable car to Kriens, and vice versa if you starts from Kriens) Board the train S5, Lucerne from Platform 14 (available every 30minutes) it will take 20 minutes to reach alpnachstad. If there is rush also, you will be able to board the cogway by 3pm. You will reach the top within 40minutes. Spend your time on top and start descend by 5pm so that you can reach Kriens before 6pm and return to Lucerne. (10 minutes from Kriens) Don't hesitate to ask for any clarifications. Thanks Vivek
