Description

Experience the best of Switzerland’s natural beauty on a scenic round trip from Lucerne to Mount Pilatus. This self-guided adventure lets you discover Lake Lucerne, ascend to 2,132 meters, and enjoy panoramic views of the Swiss Alps at your own pace.

Begin your journey with a relaxing cruise across Lake Lucerne, soaking in the tranquil waters and mountain vistas. Upon arrival at Alpnachstad, board the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, a thrilling ascent that brings you to the summit of Mount Pilatus.

At the top, take time to explore Pilatus Kulm. Whether you choose to relax on the terrace, stroll through the panoramic gallery, or climb a peak, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views. Enjoy local specialties in the summit restaurants if you wish, or simply savor the alpine air.

Descend via the Dragon Ride aerial cableway and panorama gondola, gliding over forests and valleys to Kriens. Public transportation is included, making it easy to return to Lucerne’s city center. The route can be taken in either direction, offering flexibility for your schedule.

This tour is accessible for all fitness levels, with wheelchair and stroller-friendly options available. Check the timetable carefully for boat departures, as this is an unguided experience. Secure your spot today and set out for an unforgettable Swiss mountain adventure.
