Lucerne
Your guide will greet you at the Lucerne meeting point, before whisking your away to Mt. Pilatus
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.

5.00Amazing tour. Our guide Margo was so enthusiastic and well informed. We had an excellent trip to Mt. Pilates and a beautiful boat trip on Lake Lucerne. Would strongly recommend the excursion and hope that you get Margo because she was fantastic.
Informative and beautiful tour!

5.00Margot was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about the different sites we visited. Also, we brought our 3 year old along and were a bit worried about how the experience would go. But Margot checked in on us throughout the whole activity to make sure we were okay/ the pace was fine / if we needed help with our stroller, etc. 10/10 recommend :)
Great, even in the winter.

5.00I was expecting a beautiful lake, surrounded by picturesque mountains and crowned with deep blue skies. Instead, I got overcast skies and snow flurries Even so, it was AMAZING! The scenery breathtaking, often because of the snow. I live in Wyoming, so mountins and snow are common but this place just "pops". Our guide, Margaux, was able to weave in the location, history, and culture that formed an amazing tapestry. This place is great rain or shine, snow or blue skies.
Perfect Mt Pilatus day
