Mt Pilatus selvguidet rundrejse fra Luzern

Easy to follow instructions and the views were amazing. The provider was able to answer my questions fairly quickly.

We went up in the rain. By the time we got to the top the clouds had lifted. We had amazing views of the alps and possibly into France and Germany. It was breathtaking.

Excellent day out visiting My Pilatus. Move at your own pace. Travelling was easy and forms the basis of the day - specially the cog railway. Cable car and aerial tramway also a great experience. We started our journey taking the train from Lucerne and then the bus back at the end. Glad we did it this way round as it was a 10 minute walk all downhill to find the No1 bus - if you started with the bus it isn’t obvious where to go and all uphill to the starting base. Overall a great day and the views from My Pilatus are amazing.

The Round Trip Pilatus trip should not be missed. A truly great way to spend the day. We did the trip in clockwise - started with the boat, then the cogwheel up to the top, then the tram / gondola down to Kriens, finishing with a bus back to Lucerne. Start early and get up there for lunch, and then do a few of the short hikes. Really amazing views. The finish is pretty disappointing, however. When getting off the gondola in Kriens, it is pretty confusing how to get back to Lucern. There are signs, but I found no detailed directions in the email with our reservation. It’s a city bus back to town, which was fine, but the company could do a much better job explaining how to get back. Felt more like a Almost Round Trip tour, but still well worth it.

A truly wonderful experience. My son hiked up to pilatus kulm from the lake, the rest of us took train to the top. The most breathtaking vista and short trail systems, enough to keep us busy until he showed up 3 hours later after hiking over 5280 feet up. Gondola ride, then longest toboggan ride in Switzerland (so much fun), and ski lift out. Felt like a full day and back in Lucerne by 3pm. Definitely one of the things to do with good weather in Lucerne.

We did this tour from Lucerne on a Saturday. Via first the panorama track done, then the cable car and back down with the cogwheel track. We really enjoyed this trip. We were lucky the weather was nice. But because it was the weekend, it was very busy, with ern long line for the panorama track; so starting early is advisable. Tip 1: buy a reservation for the cog railway. This can be done above, CHF 5 pp. Tip 2: back to Lucerne can also take a fe boat to Lucerne from the train; a must in good weather. Tickets are available on the boat; the "Swiss half fare Card" is valid.

The trip is fantastic - but the ticket does not include the boat (as other commenters suggested) and you can get the same tickets for cheaper directly from Mt Pilatus website.

Go early so you can spend a lot of time at the top. Lines are long but they are worth the wait! Both the train and the cable car rides are spectacular!

Do not do it unless accompanied by a guide. Had to find the correct bus then got off at the wrong stop—walked a mile to the location to take the tram up—an hour long wait in the sun. Did NOT need passports. Boarded the tram and got to the top (not clear that the first landing is NOT the top.) Walked around and had a very mediocre expensive lunch. Bought a round trip cog wheel ticket as recommended—which did not need. Took the cog wheel train down —hot and crowded and took a long time. Had to find the train across the street and get back to Lucerne. We have used Viator for years all over the world—this was the worst as far as explanation, complex travel all over with signs in a different language, and not the same as directions. Highly do NOT recommend.

The trip to the top of the mountain is well worth with a couple different options to get there and back. I recommend going up once and going back down a different way. Also, if the weather is good, there are great hiking options.
