Overview
Step into the legends of Mount Pilatus, the mythical “Dragon Mountain.” Steeped in centuries-old legends, Pilatus 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. Begin your journey in Lucerne, with free time to explore its charming Old Town, wander the cobbled streets, admire colourful frescoed buildings, and stroll across the iconic Chapel Bridge. Then head to Kriens and ascend to Mount Pilatus by Panorama Gondola and Dragon Ride. Feel the sensation of flying as you soar towards Pilatus Kulm at 2,132 metres, where sweeping views stretch across 73 Alpine peaks. Choose your preferred descent: Silver Option: Descend by cable car to Kriens, where your driver will meet you for the return journey.
