Mount Pilatus
The iconic Mount Pilatus towers over the landscape of Lucerne in Central Switzerland where it is composed of several peaks including the Tomlishorn, which stands at 2,128 meters. 20 minutes away from the city, you get to explore beautiful Mount Pilatus through the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. You also have the option to take a cable car ride from Kriens to the top of the mountain.
Aside from admiring its stunning scenery, Mount Pilatus also offers a host of activities like climbing, hiking and summer tobogganing. But if you prefer to just take in the views and relax amidst the snow, you can dine at its panoramic restaurant with family and friends for an unforgettable experience.
If you’re going during the summer, you can take the “Golden Round Trip” where you take a boat from Lucerne to Alpnachstad, go up the cogwheel railway, come down on the cable car and gondola, and take the bus back to Lucerne.
Mount Pilatus is a favorite even for high-profile personalities like Queen Victoria, Theodore Roosevelt, Conrad Gessner and Arthur Schopenhauer who have all reached its summit. Let us at La Vacanza make your trip to Mount Pilatus and the rest of Central Switzerland is more unforgettable.
