What to expect

On this afternoon excursion, enjoy the ascent by different aerial cable cars to beautiful Mt Pilatus with possibilities of easy hikes and gorgeous photo opportunities. Descend by the world's steepest cogwheel railway and end the tour with a relaxing boat ride on Lake Lucerne.

Your exciting half-day adventure starts with a short coach ride to Kriens, where you take the panoramic gondolas to Fräkmüntegg. Then hop aboard the aerial cableway "Dragon Ride" and enjoy the jaw-dropping views out of the panoramic windows, specially designed to give the feeling of flying.

Once at the top of Mt Pilatus (2,132 m), venture down the Dragon's Path or go for a short hike to the summit. Later you can relax on the panorama terrace admiring magnificent views over the surrounding mountains of the Swiss Alps and the blue lakes in the valleys below.

    Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Y en cuanto a la organización y guía, fabuloso. Puntuales, correctos, amables y serios. Recomendable 100% y la excursión merece la pena hacerla, no defrauda nada. Un saludo para la mejor guía, Anite, que además, nos tradujo toda la excursión al castellano
