Stunning Views at Mount Pilatus, Lucerne 🇨🇭
#christmastrip
📍Mount Pilatus, Lucerne
Absolutely stunning panoramic views we got from the peak of Mount Pilatus, 2131m altitude! We could never get enough of the views, breathtakingly amazing! It was winter when we visited, felt like a winter wonderland but sun was out and it felt really nice! We took the small gondola ride from Kriens to Frakmuntegg, followed by the Dragon Ride to Pilatus Kulm! Gondola ride was fun and we took a lot of pictures! The ride was enjoyable and the views were spectacular! There are a few cafes and restaurants at both stations, which offer instant warmth from the cold outdoor! Food served were pretty decent! We spent around 4 hours at Mount Pilatus, mainly strolling around and taking lots of photos! Such an amazing and wonderful trip here that you wouldn’t want to miss on your trip to Lucerne! 10/10 would recommend ✨

Recommended to take the Golden Ring Line, do not go back to experience different traffic, cruise ship-gear train-cable car-train, all the way to the beautiful scenery, there are many outdoor activities on the mountain, very interesting
Mt. Pilatus is an Alpine mountain overlooking the famous city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. The Pilatus Golden Tour is the only tour route in Switzerland that links lake and mountaineering in a series of different means of transportation. Pilatus Mountain is 2,132 meters above sea level, 15 kilometers southwest of Lucerne, the highest Alpine peak on the shoreline of Lake Lucerne (Lake Lucerne).
I am glad that I completed my trip to Switzerland last year, otherwise I don’t know when I will see the beauty of Switzerland. The Swiss Pilatus Mountain is very worth going, the scenery is very good, there are cable cars throughout the whole process, not too tired, the top of the mountain can see the opposite St. Regis Mountain, even if it is just October, the mountain feels quite cold.
Mount Piratus, more than 2,100 meters above sea level, is one of Lucerne’s iconic attractions, from the pier in downtown Lucerne to the foot of the mountain to transfer to the world’s steepest gear train.
I've seen a lot of scenery, but Pilatus is the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life so far. Sunshine, lake, snow mountain, blue sky, white clouds... Switzerland must be God's favorite child. It's easy to get there by public transport from Lucerne. Mount Pilatus, 2123 meters above sea level, is a perfect peak for every tourist.
It is the world’s steepest toothed rail mountaineering train and the only access to the top of Mount Pilatus from Alpnachstad on Lake Josen. The railway, built in 1889 by engineers and 600 brave Italian workers and many locals in Switzerland over three summers, remains the world's steepest toothed track mountaineering railway with the largest inclination of 48 degrees. By train or cable car, you can reach the elevation of Lake Lusen, climb to the top of Pilatus Peak, from the wind and sunshine down the mountain to the turquoise meadows, then up is the tall arboretum, then the pine trees with snow, and finally the Pilatus Peak Station, the scenery is unparalleled.
Close to Lucerne, you can see it from the city's head. Pilatus can also be used as a background when you look at the Capel Corridor Bridge. The hill is not very high, but it is in the beginning of 2000 meters. However, the gear train on the hill is the largest in Switzerland, and it has its own characteristics. If you want to climb to the top of the mountain, there is still a 40-minute hike.
