Lucerne Switzerland - Mount Pilatus Day Trip in 4K

A short 20 minute bus ride from Lucerne, Mount Pilatus is a great option for an afternoon or day trip from the city. I visited after arriving in Zurich on a morning flight.

Super excited to be visiting in April and stubbled across this video! Question! We will being also doing the Tobaggan Run on the way to up to Mt Pilatus. Do you have to additional tickets if you get off at Fraekigaudi? We got round trip tickets from Kriens-Pilatus Kulm. Thanks!

[@RonnieBunshaft]

I didn't need any extra tickets myself and was able to just get off and check out the midway. But I can't speak for any changed policies so I'd suggested checking the website FAQs confirming when you get there.

As a lucerne citizien studying abroad lovely to see my home from pilatus in this lovely weâther!

Awesome video, sir! I have some questions about the trip, if you could provide me some information : 1. Did you buy a return trip from Kriens to Pilatus Kulm (by using the gondolas to go from Kriens to Pilatus Kulm and from Pilatus Kulm back to Kriens)? 2. Can we buy tickets with cash directly from the Kriens ticket office (no prebooking needed)? 3. Can you spend time on different stations before reaching Pilatus Kulm and also during the descent back to Kriens? 4. How much would the trip last? What would be an appropiate hour to arrive at Kriens? I hope you will see my message as me and my friends would really love to try the trip!^^ Have a great day!

Hi there! It's been a while since I was there so you should definitely check out the FAQs on the website to confirm but I can give you what I think are the answers at least. I did buy a return trip and I believe you can stop part way and check out the mid stations before continuing on. I was able to buy my ticket at the office but if you're going at a peak time you should probably pre book. I used a credit card. And up to you on the timing. I think it's roughly 45 mins each way up and down and you'd take a few hours on the mountain.

@@RonnieBunshaft thank you very much for your answers!

That rocky trail through tunnels and staircases where did it lead to?

[@RonnieBunshaft]

All the staircases and whatnot that I went through ultimately looped back on themselves or connected to another trail. It's a cool interconnected series of paths they have up there.

I have a few questions for you if that’s ok :) Are lines to get tickets on the mt Pilatus long? We will be there Sunday and Monday. Can you take a cable car up and then the cograil down? We are debating going ourselves and doing a guided tour . I would also appreciate the links where we can see the prices for the tickets. thank you!!!

[@RonnieBunshaft]

I had no line when I arrived but the ticket office is small and I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes there is a large one when a bus arrives. Especially on the weekend in nice weather. Yes you can take the cable car up and cograil down. Price website: www.pilatus.ch/en/booking/prices

Is there a snow in month of April? Thanks

[@RonnieBunshaft]

I'm not sure about the top of pilatus but that's generally the end of the season at most ski mountains so it would likely be there but patchy if I had to guess.
