Our accent to Mount Pilatus will take us aboard the iconic “dragon ride” aerial cable cart, where we will float back to earth suspended in a giant glass cabin. The windowed walls provide 360 views of the Lucerne region, and many compare the experience to 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 Mount Pilatus.

5.00This is a must experience! Absolutely incredible experience! Beautiful morning on the lake cruising to the cogwheel train station. Our guide, Anna, was sweet, funny, kind and had a tremendous amount of information for us. As we cruised the lake she even showed personal photos of some of the places we were seeing from the lake. As we passed one of the castles she shared photos of the grounds and gardens making you feel as though you were there visiting as well! The train ride was fantastic and my husband who is a bit of a train buff was fascinated by it. The trails and viewing areas from the top of the mountain are made for all different levels of abilities and interests. Choices for food on top were good although pricey. I am afraid of heights so I personally was quite worried about the gondola but was pleasantly surprised. What an experience! Beautiful morning sure to hang out at the first stop down and ride the toboggan. My family loved it!!! I cannot say enough about Anna. Request her as your guide. You willl not be disappointed!
Best ever!

5.00Michelle Rossignoli was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about the area and history of the area. She was very friendly and helpful with every thing. She was by far the best tour guide we have ever had.
