From Lucerne: guided tour Pilatus Golden Round Trip incl. mountain railroad and boat trip

Many legends and myths have grown up around Mount Pilatus. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that dragons once dwelled in the bare crevices of Mount Pilatus. Even today you can discover the dragons here and marvel at the magnificent view at the same time. This tour gives you a unique insight into the fantastic world of this mountain.

From Lucerne you travel by coach to Kriens. From here you take the panorama gondola to Fräkmüntegg. Immediately afterwards you change to the ultra-modern cable car "Dragon Ride". Thanks to the large panoramic windows, you can enjoy the breathtaking view even more. It almost feels like you are flying. During the maintenance of the Dragon Ride between the end of October and the beginning of November, you will ascend via the cogwheel train.

From the top station, it's a short walk to the top of Mount Pilatus. The Dragon Trail takes you to 2132 m.a.s.l. Here you have a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains of the Swiss Alps and the turquoise blue lakes. Now you can take advantage of the numerous hiking opportunities or have a bite to eat in one of the restaurants.

Afterwards, you will take the world's steepest cogwheel railroad from Pilatus Kulm past blooming alpine meadows down into the valley. The 40-minute ride at a maximum gradient of 48% is a very special experience. From the valley station in Alpnachstad, the journey takes you back to Lucerne. During a one-hour boat trip on the idyllic Lake Lucerne, you will round off the tour (until about mid-October, after that you will receive a lunch voucher for the Pilatus summit as compensation).

If you're making the journey to Mount Pilatus in the afternoon, you should recharge your batteries beforehand. A visit to Mill'Feuille in Lucerne is well worth it. In good weather, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast in the sun directly on the Reuss River. In bad weather, of course, you can enjoy your breakfast in the comfort of your own home.
