Highlights

Prepare for an exciting adventure starting from Lucerne. Begin by catching bus number 1 at the train depot for an 11-minute ride to "Kriens, Zentrum Pilatus." From there, take a short walk to reach the valley station of the panoramic gondola.


Enjoy a 15-minute ride to the middle station Krienseregg, offering scenic views. Then, hop on the cable car for another 15-minute ride to Fräkmüntegg.


For adventure-seekers, there's an option to visit the rope park at Fräkmüntegg (additional cost). Next, board the "Dragon Ride" aerial cableway for an exciting 5-minute ascent to Pilatus Kulm.


Enjoy the highlight of the trip with a ride on the world's steepest cogwheel railway from Pilatus Kulm to Alpnachstad. Finally, relax on a train ride back to Lucerne.


You can also take the trip in reverse, starting with the train from Lucerne. Just be sure to check the timetable beforehand.
