Experience the magic of Mount Pilatus on an unforgettable journey combining cable car, cogwheel train, and boat.
Travel in a panoramic Skyglass Roof bus, enjoying sweeping views of the Swiss landscape on your way to the Alps and Lake Lucerne.
Steeped in legend and mystery, this mythical mountain is said to be the resting place of Pontius Pilate, home to a petrified guardian, and the site where a dragon stone fell from the sky in 1420.
Ascend from Kriens by scenic gondola and the spectacular “Dragon Ride” cableway, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating the sensation of flying above the Alps. At 2,132 meters, enjoy breathtaking views of 73 Alpine peaks and free time to explore the summit.
Descend on the world’s steepest cogwheel railway to Alpnachstad, then relax on a peaceful 15-minute boat cruise across Lake Lucerne to the charming city of Lucerne — 3 experiences in one day.
Your tour includes free time in Lucerne to explore the Old Town and cross the iconic Chapel Bridge.
