The Pilatus Railway in Lucerne, Switzerland is known as the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. Since 1889, it has been taking passengers from Alpnachstad to Pilatus Kulm, offering stunning views of alpine meadows and rock formations along the way. With a gradient of up to 48 percent, this historic railway provides a unique and thrilling experience for visitors looking to explore the Swiss Alps.

We took the tour linked below that offered a gondola ride, cogwheel train, and lake cruise.
