Comment from John Reality
Accessible from Alpnachstad from May to November by way of the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, the summit of Pilatus is an iconic alpine destination that has few rivals anywhere in the world. Located near Lucerne, Pilatus is named for a local legend that alleges that Pontius Pilate was buried there.
