Towering over the city of Lucerne like a monument to the Swiss wilderness, Mt. Pilatus is a must-visit for nature lovers. This stunning massif boasts several stunning peaks, set within a playground of soaring rock faces, lush rolling valleys, and a network of meandering emerald lakes. The tallest peak in the group, Mt. Pilatus, reaches a heady 2,132 meters above sea level, and is beloved by visitors for its sensational views over the region. We’ll take you to the heart of the sights, with opportunities to explore the Lake of Lucerne, Pilatus summit, and ride the famous dragon aerial cable cars.

2

Pilatus Luzern

In Lucerne, your guide will escort you to the Pilatus Bahn and begin your ascent to Mt. Pilatus. We'll make a little stop at Fraukmuntegg, where you will admire the beginning of the Swiss Alps and the cantons that formed the Swiss Confederation in 1291. Then, you will board the iconic “dragon ride” aerial cable car, where we will float in a giant glass cabin. The windowed walls provide 360 views of the Lucerne region, and many compare it to the experience of flying. Enjoy an ever-changing perspective of the Alpine landscape as historic Lucerne pulls back into focus as we approach the end of the line. The ride is a highlight of any trip to Mt. Pilatus.

    This vendor is terrible. Did not do what he sold. Paid for 6 hours got 3 hours and refused to refund. It was $1200 tour. Viator was of no help. Not worth booking through their service.

    We had a wonderful tour guide to Mt Pilatus with Lake Lucerne Cruise. The weather was perfect and Layton was very passionate and knew his history of the area. Lovely time we had with him as our tour guide.

    Wonderful views, close to Lucerne with easy walking to take the gondola and cable car to the top, then down on the cog railway to the lake. Much to do at the top including food and various short walks.

    We had a private tour with six friends. Rose met us at our hotel right on time and spent six hours with us on boats, cog wheel trains, cable cars and buses. It was the best tour we had all week and she was excellent in directions and history
