Wonderful experience even though our view was obscured by clouds. Hiking through tunnels in the mountain was fun, unfortunately we have inclement weather so I must return to the mountain another time.

Enjoyed the different modes of transportation. Just need a little more specific direction regarding the return bus stop 1 in Kreins.

This was the first thing we did once we landed in luceren. Recommended to us by our hotel host, since we had some time before our check-in. You take the bus number 1 from the city center and get off at Mt Pilatus stop and then take a cable car ride to the top of the mountain..it costs about 53 euros with a discount voucher if you're staying in a hotel in lucerne. You can then go all the way to the top and spend some time... We had a lovely experience and got some great views since the sun was out as well. For our first time experience of snow, it was incredible!

Self-Guided tour was wonderful with no pressure from a tour group or feeling rushed! Receiving the actual tickets to Mt Pilatus was chaotic, disorganized & a lot of wasted time waiting in line. It is recommended to purchase tickets via Mt. Pilatus Website where tickets will be electronic with a QR code. Having a QR code, will avoid the long, chaotic line of receiving hard paper tickets and can “jump” ahead of those who have to wait in line for tickets. If going on a beautiful sunny day, get to Mt. Pilates at opening (8:30 am) to avoid the massive lines and people who will show up around 10:00 am! Arriving early, will prevent waiting in long lines for hard paper tickets and get up the mountain before the 10 am rush. Would absolutely do the self-guided tour again, but hindsight being 20/20, would purchase online tickets ahead of time from the website.
