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.

3.00The Steepest Dragon ride was cool. The Lake of Lucerne cruise was scenic but too packed and we have to stand all the way. The co-ordination was bad. No WhatsApp notification / reminders were being sent to us before date of travel. We are travelers coming from different places, there was no signboard being held and tour guide was so ' plain ' that it was hard for travelers to identify her. Wrong tickets were being issued to our group and the guide has to spend some time to settle the problem. This is the same tour operator that we used for Glacier Express day tour. Please improve on the service.
A great experience!

5.00Great way to experience Lucerne by boat, rail, and cable car. Even though the summit was shrouded in clouds, there was much to see and enjoy throughout the excursion. Rose was an excellent guide and took great care of our group.
Wonderful Day Trip
