Pilatus offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Swiss Alps and the Lake Lucerne. The vistas from the summit are simply awe-inspiring, making it a photographer's paradise. The Golden Round Trip is a popular excursion that takes you on a journey to Mount Pilatus via different modes of transportation. It includes a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne, a scenic cogwheel train ride, and a cable car journey. The Pilatus Railway is one of the steepest cogwheel railways in the world! Another option is to hike but it is a challenging one (ex. from Alpnach), 16.9km out&back, 1633m elevation gain, around 8h42m to complete.
