Mt. Pilatus Switzerland Day Trip From Lucerne

If you are staying in Luzern (Lucerne), Switzerland then make sure to take a day trip to Mt. Pilauts. Mt. Pilatus offers incredible sweeping views of 73 Alpine peaks. It towers over the region with an altitude of 2,128m/6,982ft. There are a few different ways to visit the peak; via gondola and aerial cable car leaving directly from Kriens or via the steepest classic cogwheel train from Alpnachstad. Tickets for a trip up to Mt. Pilatus are available online, at any staffed rail station, at the Lake Lucerne boat docks, and from the Pilatus ticket desks. If you have a rail pass, we had the Swiss Travel Pass and Family Card for the kids, you may get a discount. You’ll need to decide if you are doing a circle tour, like the “Golden Round Trip” or “Silver Round Trip,” or if you are just going up-then-down the same route. We did the trip ourselves and went up/down from Kriens. Mt. Pilatus has lots of hiking trails, paragliding opportunities, an alpine slide, and alpine rope park. Be sure to grab a map and look at the different highlights along the way. If you don’t have a car to drive to the gondola in Kriens, you can take the RBus1 out of Luzern directly to Kriens. It was about a 15 minute bus ride. Just pay attention to the stops and be sure to pull the string to request a stop. Get out, cross the street, and it’s a 5-10 minute walk to the gondola ticket booth.
