The experience is unique, out-of-series landscapes and amazing nature. It is very worth going by cable car, no need to reserve, you can buy on site.
Fantastic view!

Fantastic experience! We had booked the cable car to the top (65 euros pp). Visibility was very good and lots of facilities on every level (3 including the top). It can be cold at the top, so keep this in mind. There is also a webcam available on the website to preview the view to avoid disappointment. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience

It was truly an amazing experience. Incredible views and prospects, sun and snow. The journey with the cable car. Fit in and went summer tobogganing too. The only downside was incredibly long queues and a very unpedagogically laid out website. The gear track was closed. If you go from central Luzern, take tram 1 to Kriens. The stop Pilatus zentrum. Sixth, just follow the arrows for 3 minutes
