I wouldn’t recommend booking in advance for this trip. Our weather was horrible, and cancellation was not possible. Everything else was wonderful but we couldn’t see more than a few feet from our window.

Great trip. Had a blast with the Golden Round Trip. The cruise is amazing plus they have a bar on board so you can sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery with a glass of wine. Plus the cog railway was super fun. And finally on the way down taking the leap of faith on the Dragon Ride and going straght off the cliff of Mt. Pilatus then gondola ridr was a fantastic experience. We stopped half way down at Frakmuntegg were my daughter (13 yr old) spent a few hours on the ropes course which was super intense!! Absolutely a must do excursion if in the Lucerne area!!!

From the boat ride to the trains and gondola, what an extraordinary journey! We had lunch on top at hotel. It was so good and hearty. We will do this trip again!

Amazing experience, highly recommend. Directions could be clearer from La Vacanza Travel - you have an option of two different places to start. Not for someone who doesn’t like heights! I suggest you spend some time on the mountain and take part in all the fun activities and grab food at the restaurant up too at 7000 m!

Excellent views and experience. The ferry boat accepts the voucher and does not require a ticket. Get the tickets after the boat ride at the train station. We didn’t leave until 1:38 pm ferry waiting for clear skies and it worked out great. There are ferry and cog rail schedules. The aerial tram runs every 15 minutes.
