Trip Details

After meeting at the Landenberg bus park at the indicated time, we'll set off through the beautiful Swiss countryside in the direction of Kriens, where we'll begin our "golden round trip" on the iconic panoramic gondolas to Fräkmüntegg. Throughout the half-hour cable car ride, you'll enjoy unparalleled views over the stunning forests of Krienseregg and the surrounding valleys and mountains.

Arriving in Fräkmüntegg, we'll then embark on the Dragon Ride, an aerial cableway which will have you feeling like you're flying over the Swiss Alps. An unforgettable experience!

Once we've reached the peak of Mount Pilatus, you'll have the opportunity to explore the Dragon's Trail and discover the mysterious legend that gave it this name, or to walk up to the mountain's summit. Visit the observation terrace for captivating views of the magnificent mountains and lakes surrounding you and treat yourself to mouth-watering Alpine cuisine in one of the restaurants at your leisure.

Having made the most of your time at Mount Pilatus, we'll begin our descent to Alpnachstad on board the world's steepest cogwheel train. We'll then continue our adventure with an hour-long boat cruise on the Lake of the Four Cantons, enjoying the views of the Swiss Alpine landscapes from a new perspective. Finally, the tour will come to an end back at the starting point after a total of 5.5 hours.
