Explore the most beautiful peaks of the Swiss Alps 🇨🇭.

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,

#tripaway It’s overlooking alphachersee. The wind on the mountain is unpredictable. The train to the base of Pilatus is covered by the swiss travel pass, but the cog wheel train and gondola are not (but you get a discount). Both up and down are great rides in themselves, and there is some super hiking at the top (the flower trail is the best), and half way down the east (?) side is a summer toboggan run. I highly recommend #tripaway
