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.

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.

This was an awesome experience. A very organized tour. Our guide Jean was absolutely the best. He explained everything very well and was very friendly. I highly recommend this adventure when visiting Lucerne

Waited at the meeting point for 50 min. The tour operator did not show up and did not answer any phone calls.

Guide was good but trip was underwhelming especially that train down is closed in December. We did not understand it from product info as train is featured on all photos etc. I think they should have separate products as its confusing. We also had to take private bus and needed to buy tickets for it. It felt bad.

A wonderful experience. Michelle was a fantastic guide. We learned so much and experienced the beauty of Lucerne from the top of the mountain to the lake.

Trip cancelled 1 hr before departure as we stood on train platform so have no feedback to offer on the experience. Stated it was due to weather on mountain. Disappointing given it was our only full day in Lucerne.

If I could give any lower a score then I would. We waited one solid hour for a guide that never showed up. There were six of us standing there and 4 of us were together. We paid a very large amount for this tour and were stood up. When Viator was notified, they said the tour had already left. Well they didn't show up where they were supposed to be. We were there 30 minutes early so we could not have missed them. The tourism office said this happens a lot. So do not book through this company!! Absolutely terrible!!
