2025 Alpnach Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

This is an experience on my bucket list. Pilatus-Bahnen offers an incredible experience, combining breathtaking views with thrilling rides. The journey up Mount Pilatus is spectacular, with the world's steepest cogwheel railway providing an exhilarating climb. The train is built at an incline to climb the mountain, taking about 30 minutes. It's best to sit in the first or last car—depending on whether you like to look forward and watch the driver operate the train, or if you prefer to look back down the train. Of course, if you're descending back to Alpnachstad, it's the opposite! Once at the top, the panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and Lake Lucerne are stunning, so magnificent and unparalleled. The best part is taking the cable car down, with picturesque scenery all around. You can also see brave and weary hikers going up or down the mountain. Whether you're hiking, enjoying a meal at the summit, or just soaking in the scenery, Pilatus-Bahnen ensures you have an amazing and peaceful unforgettable adventure! Highly recommended! We bought our tickets online. This way, you can save time queuing for tickets. You can also depart at any time on the day of your ticket, or even earlier (those departing at their exact booked time have priority). Make sure to check the weather and clear skies for the best experience!

⛰️Luzern, a city with mountains and water, is widely known because of the love of the beautiful actress Audrey Hepburn. Not only did she hold her first wedding here, she also spent several years recuperating at the famous resort Bürgenstock Hotel & Resort. With its top-notch lake and mountain scenery, Lucerne allowed her to be completely herself without being disturbed. 🚂Located at the starting point of the Wilhelm Tell Express, Lucerne is also the gateway to central Switzerland 🇨🇭. The express line passes through the Gotthard pass to Ticino in the southern Alps. Facing the shore of Lake Lucerne, with Mount Rigi, Mount Pilatus and Stanserhorn in the background, Lucerne is definitely worth a two-day stay❤️ 🌉Chapel Bridge is an absolute landmark of the old town. This painted and decorated wooden bridge is one of the oldest wooden covered bridges in Europe. There are many beautiful squares and churches in the old town, such as the Baroque Jesuit Church, the twin-towered Hauff Church⛪️, and the futuristic cultural and exhibition center, which is also one of Lucerne's iconic buildings. 🚡You can also take a cable car to Mount Pilatus, watch the rolling sea of ​​clouds and overlook the city. Looking at the smiles of the children, I really envy the simple, peaceful happiness of the Swiss, which makes you fall in love with it in a second❤️ #AudreyHepburn

Mount Pilatus with a height of 2128m offers spectacular 360 views over Central Switzerland.Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth,the breathtaking views up there never disappoint. Take a ride on the world’s steepest cogwheel train from Alpnachstad or enjoy the stunning cable car views on your ascent from Kriens. The trip from Lucerne to Mount Pilatus is referred as Golden Round Trip. Here’s an overview of this trip: Boat (To Alpnachstad) → Cogwheel (From Alpnachstad to Pilatus Kulm Up the Mountain) → Aerial Cableway (From Pilatus Kulm to Fräkmüntegg Down the Mountain) → Panorama Gondola (From Fräkmüntegg to Kriens Down the Mountain) → Bus (Back to Lucerne). However, keep in mind that these trips are only possible from around mid/late May to mid October, as this is when the cogwheel and boat (more on that below) are operating. If you have Swiss travel pass , tickets are included in that. Once you get off the cogwheel or aerial cableway, you’ll immediately get incredible views of the area. These views alone are breathtaking. However, if you’d like to get to a slightly higher viewpoint, do a climb up a few flights of stairs to one of the observation decks. There are two observation decks at Mount Pilatus. The one we climbed up is on the Oberhaupt peak. From this lookout, you can see Lucerne and the surrounding lakes and mountains, as well as Klimsenkapelle – a tiny chapel set on what is probably the most scenic plot of land ever. The other lookout spot is on the Esel peak, which also offers views of Lucerne and the gorgeous surrounding landscape. Mt Pilatus is just breathtakingly beautiful!🙌Words can’t describe how amazing this place is we don’t ever want to leave! #pilatus #swisstravel #swissalps #lucerne #mountain

Recently, I have been flooded with the beautiful scenery of Switzerland 🇨🇭 taken by pyq🍠~ It is really beautiful and heart-warming! But many friends also reported that they did not go to Switzerland Today I will organize five beautiful scenery in Switzerland for you⛰️! ➡️ 1. The bend of the Bernina Express If you want to experience rotation on rails, try the Bernina Express🔥. This curve can be experienced by taking a train across the Brusio Viaduct. The viaduct is located between Brusio and Campascio stations, just south of Brusio, about 54 kilometers from St. Moritz station. The Bernina Express spirals down a circular viaduct about 100 meters long with no tunnels in between. If your schedule allows, it is really worth experiencing. ➡️ 2. Watch the sunrise on the cogwheel train up Mount Pilatus🌄 Mount Pilatus is a mountain near Lucerne, Switzerland. It straddles the cantons of Obwalden, Nidwalden and Lucerne. Its highest peak (2,128 meters above sea level) is located on the border of Obwalden and Nidwalden. There are several ways to go up and down Mount Pilatus. But riding the world’s steepest cog-rail mountain train (48% grade) is definitely one to look forward to. Of course, if you can't get up in the morning, the scenery at other times is also worth your careful appreciation. You can take a boat from Lucerne across Lake Lucerne to Alpnachstad, take the cog railway up the mountain, take the aerial cable car and panoramic gondola lift down the mountain, and then take the bus back to Lucerne. ➡️ 3. Scenery from the Glacier Express❄️ Every view on this journey is no less than those famous attractions. Take the Glacier Express 🚞 and travel up the mountain.

Views from Europe’s highest peak Jungfraujoch is also the "Top of Europe"🔔, and therefore it has the highest railway station in Europe - Jungfraujoch (it is also the most famous station in Europe)🔥.

Alps' most beautiful peak ⛰️ Pilatus Mountain, is a peak where you can overlook the panoramic view of Luxembourg. It has the steepest cogwheel railway in the world, built in 1889, with a maximum inclination of 48 degrees, still holding the title of the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. In 1937, it was electrified and converted from steam-powered to electric-powered trains. To climb the mountain early the next morning 🧗‍♀️, the hotel 🏨 was deliberately booked halfway up the mountain, with mountain ridges, lakes, and wooden houses 🏡, just like a world in a fairy tale. At night: looking at the stars outside the window and falling asleep; in the morning: with the dawn breaking, pushing open the window, the eyes are greeted with the scenery of endless green grass and refreshing air. Upwards, we choose to take the cable car 🚠 for a tour, along the way, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pilatus Mountain and the lake area below the mountain. The peak of Pilatus Mountain is 2132 meters above sea level, with no obstructions around it. Below the mountain is Lake Lucerne, and in the distance is the Black Forest of Germany. It is indeed cold at high altitude, but the scenery at the top of the mountain is very spectacular, which makes people excited. As a cloud of mist passes by, we find ourselves in the midst of the clouds. Although we cannot see the snowy peaks, we can see the beautiful Lucerne and the four forest lakes. On the way down, we take the red train 🚄 and experience the charm of the steepest cogwheel train. As we descend, the ancient city of Lucerne becomes closer and closer, and we can even see the water tower on the covered bridge. This is the most romantic place in Switzerland, as Hugo said. Change to the train and continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Switzerland. This is one of the railways where you can see the most beautiful scenery in Switzerland. Sitting by the window, feeling the wind, listening to the sound of the rails, and enjoying the picturesque towns, time always slips away inadvertently, but the scenery is deeply imprinted in the heart, unforgettable for a lifetime. 👍Most recommended: Be sure to experience the gear-rail train,
