CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5This 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.SSomayeh K
CoupleVerified bookingLast week5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful experience with Golden Way Tour in Lucerne and the Mount Pilatus Golden Round Trip. Everything was well organised, from the boat ride to the mountain experience, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. 🏔️✨ The whole day was enjoyable, relaxing and unforgettable. Mount Pilatus is definitely a must-visit when you’re in Lucerne, and the Golden Round Trip made the experience even more special. Thank you to Golden Way Tour for making our day so memorable. Highly recommended! ❤️🇨🇭HHassan S
CoupleVerified booking5 days ago5/5The experience was amazing. We went counter clock wise which is a non traditional route and it was worth it. The only issue was finding the way to Gandolas after leaving Kriens bus station but after finding it, everything went well. There is a lot to do on your way up to mount pilatus. Plan for 5-6 hours. There are activites which require additional tickets. My suggestion would be to start early around 9 amLLeander B
CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5A really nice tour—for 119 SFR, it includes the boat, the cog railway, the large and small gondola lifts, and the bus ride back—a very reasonable price; what we really liked was how friendly all the staff were on every ride!!! Highly recommended.JJean V
CoupleVerified booking6 days ago5/5A bit of everything: the ride up in the automated cable car, the views once at the top, the dizzying paths, the train ride down, and the return by boat.
