Pilatus is Lucerne's local mountain and one of the most impressive mountain experiences in central Switzerland. From Kriens, you glide up on the panoramic gondola towards Fräkmüntegg and continue on the "Dragon Ride" aerial cableway to Pilatus Kulm. At the top, at 2,132 metres, the view opens up over Lucerne, Lake Lucerne and the Alps. The result: mountain air, wide open space, and an outing that's fun right from the journey up.
Perfect for anyone who wants to combine Lucerne with a mountain moment. Families stop off at Krienseregg with PILU-Land, nature and a playground. Those looking for more action will find adventure, a rope park, Dragon World and, depending on the season, further activities at Fräkmüntegg. Whether a short outing, half a day, or a big summit experience, Pilatus can be planned flexibly and shows you Lucerne from way up high.
