    Mount Pilatus is a majestic mountain massif that overlooks the city of Lucerne with the views from the summit that are simply breathtaking.

    You can get there by cogwheel railway or a cable car, but we strongly recommend taking the cable car. As you ascend, you'll be transported through forests and pastures with panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and the surrounding lakes and valleys, and eventually through fluffy clouds to the summit. The ride alone is an experience you'll never forget.

    Once you reach the summit, you can explore the rugged terrain on hiking trails, leading to hidden lakes and spectacular views. And if you're looking for a thrill, the Mount Pilatus area offers a toboggan run and a rope park.
