This is the absolute most excursion you need to take when you visit in Lucerne. The guide was very helpful, and the views were spectacular.

Awesome views going up on the gondola and coming down on the cog wheel train. The lake cruise was also lovely. Amazing!

What a wonderful day! Sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. We took a gondola up part way and a tram the rest. Walked all over the place, all the trails. The scenery was just beautiful! They were para sailing from the top of the mountain and we watched them take off. Saw some mountain goats along the side of the mountain,,, just fabulous! We had packed a lunch and ate it at the lookout point at the very top... so cool. We took the cog rail down (the other side) and then a boat back to Luzerne. Just the perfect day!

Our guide Yolanda was wonderful - very friendly and knowledgeable. The day was clear and picture perfect; therefore, we were able to take lots of amazing photos from the summit of Mount Pilatus and along the lake on the boat ride. We also enjoyed the chance to ride the Alpine Slide which was a surprise treat. It was a great tour! We highly recommend it.
