Visiting Lucerne’s landmark mountain, Mt. Pilatus, is a must-do when you're in the Lake Lucerne region. Start your trip at Alpnachstad or Kriens valley station and enjoy the 30 minutes ride with the world's steepest cogwheel railway (from Alpnachstad) or with the panorama-gondola and aerial Cableway "Dragon Ride" (from Kriens). At the top of Lucerne's landmark mountain, you can enjoy the great panoramic view over the Swiss mountains, Lake Lucerne and the city of Lucerne - either from the spacious panorama terrace outside or the cosy panorama gallery inside. After a few minutes, you can also reach one of the three peaks at Pilatus Kulm (Esel, Oberhaupt or Tomlishorn) and enjoy your walk in the Swiss mountains or on the Dragon Path. Pilatus is also called Dragon mountain because of the legends about a dragon living there - learn about these myths in the Dragon World at Pilatus Kulm. This is not a guided tour and there is no meeting point.

We enjoyed the trip to Mt Pilatus. We went up and back on the cogwheel from Alpnachstad since the route from Kriens was closed. The view from the top was great. There are multiple places /peaks where you can climb to the top. We didn’t find the dragon zone very exciting, but the rest of the attractions were great. You need to climb a lot of stairs for most of the attraction spots and it reminded us how out of form we were. But it was still enjoyable. Do note - reaching one of the panoramic points (can’t recall the name) is not difficult even for the elderly or those with reduced mobility but beyond that the hiking around the mountain will be challenging for the elderly or with reduced mobility. Strongly suggest you go as early as possible. We went up the cogwheel around 8:10am and were able to see most of the places on the top with limited crowds. Yes it’s a lot colder than it would be around noon time (we visited in the first week of November). On our way down, the long queues of tourists waiting to go up was daunting - Despite it being November (thankfully we didnt have to stand in such long queues). Can’t imagine what it would be like to visit during summers.

Ride the world’s steepest cograil train (45-48% incline)! The sunshine filled views are unforgettable! Some stop a bit from the top and tackle the switchback trails on foot.
