Great views, would of given 5 but the organisation at the top of pilatus is horrific. We got there and basically were told due to the number of people up there the wait was going to be very long, so we basically took some photos and queued to get on the cable car to get down which we stood in the queue for over 1 hour. You must book your time on the cogwheel train ahead of time or you may not get a slot or have to wait upto 3 hours. To book the cog wheel give yourself about 2 hours for boat trip until the time of the train.

What an amazing activity. It’s self guided, but having the tickets in advance allows you to skip the queue at each stop. We did the gondola first, which was socked in with clouds, but they started clearing by the time we got to the cafe before the final summit. The views at the top are spectacular, even on a cloudy day, so don’t give up! The train down had a bit of a wait, so pay attention to the times on the website, so you are sure to time it with the lake cruise at the bottom, otherwise you’ll spend a lot of time waiting there too. And the times change with the season, so do read carefully!

Mt. Pilatus was very beautiful! The cogwheel was exciting and the gondolas were fun as well. Recommend this trip.
