Thrilling Cable Car Experience

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!

Mount Pilatus

#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
