An ascent today is just as thrilling: for example, on the classic "golden round trip", beginning with a boat ride from Lucerne across the lake to Alpnachstad. From here, the steepest cog railway in the world (maximum gradient 48 %) climbs to Pilatus Kulm (2,132m) and the romantic Hotel Pilatus-Kulm, built in 1890, with its sun terrace and panoramic views of the Alps. The descent – down the other side of the mountain, to Kriens – is equally spectacular, by cable car and panoramic gondola.
Close to Lucerne, and easily reached by public transport, Mt Pilatus (2,132m) has remained a much-loved destination for young and old alike. 2 cable cars, 2 hotels, 7 restaurants, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world and the largest rope park in Central Switzerland promise a day out to remember!
