CoupleVerified bookingSep 20265/5Great experience from start to finish. Everything worked as booked: the lake cruise from Lucerne, the steep cogwheel up Mount Pilatus and the cable car down. Clear signs, no stress with the tickets. The views over the lake and the Alps were stunning — one of the best days of the trip. Would do it again.MMartha W
CoupleVerified bookingSep 20265/5This was a fabulous trip from Lucerne!! My husband is afraid of heights and was very reluctant but did it anyone and was glad he did. The views are amazing. The second cable car was very steep and over rocks so we stopped and he had a little liquid encouragement after the 30 minute ride. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and listening to two older gentlemen sing. Once we got to the top we enjoyed the views and had a great lunch on the hotel panorama terrace-highlight was that there were ibex/capricorns grazing below. The cog railway down was great and the boat ride glorious. This was a highlight of our two week trip!!! A tip for those with mobility issues-do the trip in reverse to avoid an uphill walk from the bus! It is not real steep, but my husband struggled a bit as it is a little long and all uphill. Also, make sure to find the right bus to Kriems as they leave from different spots across the street from each other.
