Towering over the city of Lucerne like a monument to the Swiss wilderness, Mt. Pilatus is a must-visit for nature lovers. This stunning massif boasts several stunning peaks, set within a playground of soaring rock faces, lush rolling valleys, and a network of meandering emerald lakes. The tallest peak in the group, Mt. Pilatus, reaches a heady 2,132 meters above sea level and is beloved by visitors for its sensational views over the region. We'll take you to the heart of the sights, with opportunities to explore the Lake of Lucerne, Pilatus summit, and ride the famous dragon aerial cable cars.

Then, you will board the iconic “dragon ride” aerial cable car, where we will float in a giant glass cabin. The windowed walls provide 360 views of the Lucerne region, and many compare it to the experience of flying. Enjoy an ever-changing perspective of the Alpine landscape as historic Lucerne pulls back into focus as we approach the end of the line. The ride is a highlight of any trip to Mt. Pilatus.

Our guide, Jonas, was fantastic! He made sure we understood the historical significance of every site we visited. When in train stations, he slowed his pace so we could keep up, and made sure we didn’t miss any of the best spots for photos. At the end of the tour he walked us how to get from our hotel to the airport via tram and train, saving us about 50 Swiss Francs compared to taking a taxi. Jonas went above and beyond to ensure we had a positive experience. Highly recommend!

We got a text saying that our tour was cancelled at the last minute (as we were arriving in Lucerne to meet the tour guide). We were told he had covid and that we could just go to Pilatus on our own. We have no issues with the guide not showing after a covid diagnosis. We understand that & are thankful they didn't. But, we felt that a tour company should have a back up plan or another tour we could have joined so we weren't left on our own last minute to figure out how to get there (in the pouring rain). They advised us to go ahead on our own, so we took the train and the bus to the Pilatus office only to discover that the mountain was closed. It was all over the website, but the tour company had no idea. They advised we could go to Mt Titlis instead & they did book our tickets for us. It took the better part of our day going back and forth on trains, buses, etc... but we finally made it to Titlis. Looking at the prices for admission and gondolas online, we paid a high price just to have them book our tickets for us without a tour guide. If we had known our well planned out day was going to turn into a stressful, last minute mess, we would have done a little research in advance and just gone on our own.
