Description

Begin your adventure in Switzerland with a small-group day trip from Zurich to the iconic Mount Pilatus, a destination famed for its panoramic Alpine views and legendary tales. Travel comfortably by panoramic bus, taking in the scenic Swiss countryside as you make your way to Kriens.

Upon arrival in Kriens, ascend Mount Pilatus by cable car, followed by the thrilling Dragon Ride. Large panoramic windows offer a sensation of flying above the stunning landscape, giving you unforgettable views of the Swiss Alps as you climb to 2,132 meters.

At the summit, marvel at the breathtaking vistas of 73 Alpine peaks and enjoy time to explore the mountain’s terraces and restaurants. Immerse yourself in the legends of Pilatus, from ancient dragon myths to the stories of Pontius Pilate.

Descend the mountain on the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, a unique experience that brings you down to Alpnachstad. From there, unwind on a tranquil cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Lucerne, surrounded by majestic peaks.

Conclude your day with free time in Lucerne, where you can wander the picturesque Old Town, visit the historic Chapel Bridge, or simply relax by the lakeside. Secure your spot now for a memorable Swiss adventure—availability is limited, so book today!
