Overview

73 Alpine peaks and countless lakes ensure a unique and unforgettable all-round view at Mt. Pilatus which is located outside Luzern. The typical Golden Round Trip (Jun-Oct) offers a wonderful excursion: first by lake boat on Lake Lucerne to Alpnachstad. From there by the world's steepest cogwheel train to Mt. Pilatus. On the return travel by panoramic aerial cableway via Kriens and by local bus back to Luzern.
Families and adventure seekers are also very welcome on the Pilatus. Central Switzerland's largest rope park is on the Fräkmüntegg. Numerous attractions await you on Mount Pilatus. Or enjoy the time on the large viewing terrace.
Cogwheel railway and the scheduled lake boat are closed from Nov-May. During this time you reach Mt. Pilatus by cableway and we take a one-hour scenic lake cruise in Luzern instead.

Bring your free bus vouchers is a big help. Tour guide was so quite, provided no information in lake cruise.

Maya was a great guide. She communicated well with our group and she was entertaining and informative. The cogwheel rail is spectacular and a one of a kind experience. The views from Mt Pilatus were spectacular!

This was an amazing experience . Our guide was amazing. He explained everything to us very well- we did not feel rushed or pushed to move quicker. Will definitely be recommending this to our friends!

While the destination itself was incredible the tour value was just not there.. it was essentially a person directing you on/off each transportation mode with zero commentary.. save yourself the additional CHF90 per person you pay for this & buy the pass yourself and follow the map you receive it’s super easy…

Terrible. 1) No one at the tour spot located us. 2) Went to where boat launched; office closed. 3) Called tour office several times; no one picked up 4) Went to boat launch; others said the take off time was wrong by an hour 5) Got on boat when it arrived (without tour guide) 6) Boat said our 250+ tickets were no good. 7) Boat allowed us to get off at the Pilatus station 8) Went up on tram (were told it was a short distance; wrong!: wife (paralyzed using walker had to walk the length of a football field - UP 20 or so steps 9) Made it to the top and was told that there would be buses we had to take at the bottom; NO BUSES; had to pay $16l no one told us we had to pay for transportation back to Lucerne. 10) Wife had to walk the equivalent of 2-3 football fields... again. 11) Then had to walk to car another football field Trip Advisor should have a zero option. This tour would get one. The worst tour ever.
