Venture on a half day round trip from Lucerne to Mount Pilatus on this partially guided alpine summer tour.

Escorted by your English speaking guide, take the aerial cable-car from Kriens 7000 feet (2132 meters) to the top of Mt.Pilatus. Enjoy unforgettable views over surrounding mountains and lakes with approximately an hour and a half at your leisure before descending by cogwheel train to Alpnachstad. At a gradient of 48% it's the world's steepest!

Thrill seekers can choose to ride Switzerland's longest toboggan run (4500 feet or 1.4km) before boarding the aerial cable car to Mt. Pilatus.  Available year round, embark on a scenic boat ride across the Lake of the Four Cantons before concluding your tour with a return to Lucerne.

If this is the case, you will travel up and down Mt. Pilatus by cogwheel train. If traveling after boat is in operation (after October 19), return to Lucerne is by train.
