Excursion: Mountain Climbing, Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Titlis
Overview

Hint
Intro
Ascending one of Central Switzerland's alpine peaks is an easy day trip from Lucerne.
Mt. Pilatus (7,000 feet high and home to the world's steepest cogwheel railway) and Mt. Titlis (at 10,000 feet, central Switzerland's highest peak) are two of the region's most popular climbs. Bus or train transport carries visitors along the shores of Lake Lucerne to a cable car, which whisks riders up to the top. The reward is a sweeping view of snowy, purple mountain peaks and the meandering Lake Lucerne.
