Overview
Discover the majesty of Mount Pilatus, Lucerne’s legendary mountain, on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Wrapped in myth and framed by spectacular Alpine scenery, this iconic peak is a place where legends come to life. Tales speak of Pontius Pilate resting beneath its waters, a petrified guardian watching over a hidden cave, and a mysterious dragon stone that fell from the sky in 1420. Your journey begins with a scenic gondola ride from Kriens, followed by the “Dragon Ride” cableway with panoramic windows offering the sensation of flying above the mountains. From the summit, enjoy views of Lake Lucerne and 73 Alpine peaks, with free time to explore. Choose your descent: Silver Option: Return back to Kriens by cable car, where your driver-guide will be waiting for you. Gold Option: Experience the thrill of the world’s steepest cogwheel railway to Alpnachstad, followed by a scenic cruise across Lake Lucerne.
