    Mount Pilatus was definitely worth the trip. Beautiful views, quite a few activities up there—it’s a great place to relax.

    It was a beautiful day in Lucerne. It was sunny in Lucerne, Kriens and that made it absolutely serene at the top of Mt. Pilatus. We had a blast and stayed on the top for about 2hrs before heading back. The setup was easy and one QR code per person did the job of getting us through all the rides to the top and back. Loved the convenience.
