The Lake Lucerne Experience

The “Golden Round Trip” takes you to the most beautiful spots around Mount Pilatus and the summit by boat, cogwheel railway, aerial cablecar and panorama gondolas.

The starting point in the heart of Central Switzerland is in Lucerne. On Lake Lucerne, you enjoy the boat ride and a view of the surrounding mountains. The amazement continues. In Alpnachstad, you will board the steepest cogwheel railway in the world to reach the summit of 2,132 possibilities.

At 2132 meters above sea level, the unique Pilatus warmth greets you, and you can indulge in one of the restaurants. Hearty, nutritious, and exquisite meals and delicious snacks - always freshly prepared. Whether in the stylish self-service Bellevue restaurant or the belle epoque PilatusKulm restaurant built in 1890: hospitality is included.

Of course, the breathtaking panorama at 2132 meters above sea level and the view of the mountain range of the Alpine massif also contribute to an unforgettable stay.

The return journey first takes you on the “Dragon Ride” cable car to Fräkmüntegg. A paradise for the adventurous: the largest rope park in Central Switzerland, tree tents, the toboggan run, hiking trails and fantastic barbecue areas invite you to stick around and enjoy.

The journey continues downhill to Kriens on the panorama gondolas. A stop at the Krienseregg midway station is a must, especially for families. In this paradisical local recreation area, you will find marked, varied walks and large picnic areas. The “PILU-Land” adventure playground is the highlight for little adventurers.

The round trip ends where it began. From Kriens, you can reach Lucerne in a few minutes by a comfortable bus ride.

Climbing, balancing and whizzing through the forest on rope slides, the Pilatus Rope Park trains your skills and nerves on ten different courses and at the same time provides a lot of fun. The highlight of the park is a free fall from 20 meters. It is pure adrenaline and demands courage and a good dose of self-confidence.

Under the motto “learn to fly with PILU”, the PILU Rope Park takes brave climbers aged 4 to 8 on a story with the Pilatus mascot. PILU the Dragon learns to fly with the help of his seven friends and invites the little kids on an adventurous journey between treetops and peaks.
