Get 10,000 Feet High In Our January Travel Quiz: Win A Trip To The Top Of A Glacier!

January 17th, 2008 by The Backpackers Team

Titlis SnowtoyOne of the best ways to embrace the fact that it’s darned cold up north right now, is to head for the snow, and enjoy it, rather than sludging about in it!

And this January we have a little something for one of you intrepid backpackers out there… Courtesy of ISE Cards and Titlis Rotair we’re giving away an awesome (northern hemisphere) winter prize: two money-saving ISE student discount cards (one for you, one for a friend) and two return tickets to the top of a 10,000 foot high glacier!

RotairMt Titlis, the glacier in question, is Central Switzerland’s only glacier and the views from its summit are extraordinary (we know – we took a ride on the revolving cable car last year, and it was amazing!).

The tickets include a ride on 3 different cable-cars, including the first revolving aerial cable-car in the world, called Rotair. It also includes a ride on the glacier chairlift “Ice-Flyer” to the Glacier Park where in good weather free rides with different snow toys are offered to everybody.

The prize is valid for a year from the date of draw, and, well, it’s always cold at 10,000 feet, so even if you can’t make it in the winter season, you’ve got a whole 365 days to get yourself up there!

Ise CardPlus, saving money is always a backpackers’ prerogative, and the ISE Card offers worldwide discounts that can realistically save you hundreds of dollars on your trip. Not only that, with your student card comes medical benefits, worldwide assistance and airline bankruptcy protection.

Right, so, down to business… All you have to do to go into the draw for this fantastic travel prize is to tell us:

  1. who is eligible for an ISE Card. (hint) and;
  2. about how many minutes does it take to reach the top of Mt Titlis (here’s a hint)


Then, use our contact form to send your answers to the ‘January Travel Quiz’ by the 10th of February 2007. First correct entry drawn, wins. Good luck, folks!

The fine print: this prize is valid for one year from date of draw; winner will be notified by email; prize is for tickets and student cards only, not for any transport other than specified.
