You will begin your tour by meeting your tour guide at your hotel, before you make your way into central Lucerne. Close to the train station, you will board a boat to take a 1-hour cruise on Lake Lucerne. You can enjoy the views to the surrounding mountains and look back towards the city as the boat is departing. After one hour you will arrive in Alpnachstad, where you will change onto the cogwheel railway. The Pilatus railway operates from May until October (depending on weather conditions, especially snow) and is the world's steepest cogwheel railway. The 35-minute journey will take you from 464 meters above sea level to the top of mount Pilatus (a total altitude of 2,128 meters). Once you arrive at the top, you will walk through the rock, where your tour guide will show you some hidden military objects. Alternatively, you can climb up the stairs to the panoramic platform and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Your tour guide will then take you through the gallery of dragons, where you will learn a myth about Mount Pilatus.  After the sightseeing tour, you will have the chance to enjoy your lunch in one of the two restaurants, with your tour guide happy to accompany you. You will spend the remaining time according to your preference, before you begin your descent. A panoramic gondola will take you down to Fräkmüntegg, where you will change onto a 4-seat gondola. This section will take you above trees and meadows down to the suburb of Kriens. A 10-minutes walk from here will take place to the bus station, from where you will be in the city center in Lucerne. It is back in Lucerne where your tour will end, and your tour guide will lead you back to your hotel.
