Mt. Pilatus Switzerland Day Trip From Lucerne

If you are staying in Luzern (Lucerne), Switzerland then make sure to take a day trip to Mt. Pilauts. Mt. Pilatus offers incredible sweeping views of 73 Alpine peaks. It towers over the region with an altitude of 2,128m/6,982ft.
There are a few different ways to visit the peak; via gondola and aerial cable car leaving directly from Kriens or via the steepest classic cogwheel train from Alpnachstad.
Tickets for a trip up to Mt. Pilatus are available online, at any staffed rail station, at the Lake Lucerne boat docks, and from the Pilatus ticket desks. If you have a rail pass, we had the Swiss Travel Pass and Family Card for the kids, you may get a discount. You’ll need to decide if you are doing a circle tour, like the “Golden Round Trip” or “Silver Round Trip,” or if you are just going up-then-down the same route. We did the trip ourselves and went up/down from Kriens.
Mt. Pilatus has lots of hiking trails, paragliding opportunities, an alpine slide, and alpine rope park. Be sure to grab a map and look at the different highlights along the way.
If you don’t have a car to drive to the gondola in Kriens, you can take the RBus1 out of Luzern directly to Kriens. It was about a 15 minute bus ride. Just pay attention to the stops and be sure to pull the string to request a stop. Get out, cross the street, and it’s a 5-10 minute walk to the gondola ticket booth.

I was there last fall and took the cogwheel train up, and the gondola down. This brings back all the wonderful memories to see the familiar sights. It was a dream come true. Next time I will do the Alpine slide! The cowbells were beautiful background music as we rode the swinging gondola down. I was slightly terrified but the views are absolutely stunning. ❤️

[@partyof5adventures]

It really is magical!

[@OGutzVentura]

Beautiful video and explanation! Even the music was smoothing and blended so well with the video. Did you use any passes to make the tickets a bit cheaper? Half price pass or the STP?

[@partyof5adventures]

Yes, we had the Swiss Travel Pass for the trip. My parents bought the Half Fare Card. We bought a 3-day Jungfrau Pass as well.

[@OGutzVentura]

@@partyof5adventures beautiful! Thank you. I'll be going there in June myself!

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Beautiful video, with excellent quality, and editing. How did you make your camera extension pole invisible?

[@partyof5adventures]

The Insta360 automatically erases its pole. Pretty cool!

[@rruiz9429]

Hi! Very useful information thank you for posting! We are planning on going June 2023. I have a question, what camera do you use to record your videos? They come out spectacular.

[@partyof5adventures]

@Ricardo Most of these videos are the Insta360 which is amazing!

[@randyhunsuckerhunziker]

This brings back great memories. We didn’t get to see an ibex.

[@partyof5adventures]

A good reason to go back!

[@michaelaguilera3965]

so do i take the take the gondola up to the first stop , get off to do the toboggan slide and this takes me down to the bottom where i started right? then i get back on the gondola take it to the top at pilatus klum and do the cliff walk ? does the ticket i buy for the gondola last me all day or do i need to buy multiple ones

[@partyof5adventures]

The ticket is good for all day if you buy the ticket that takes you to the top. The slide does not take you to the bottom as it pulls you back up the hill. You start and end in the same spot. Hope that helps.

Hi, I want to know the name of music that you use at 3:27

[@partyof5adventures]

All of the music is from Uppbeat.io

[@naziasvoice]

Can we ride the cable cars with Swiss Travel Pass?

[@partyof5adventures]

If you have a rail pass, we had the Swiss Travel Pass and Family Card for the kids, you may get a discount. You’ll need to decide if you are doing a circle tour, like the “Golden Round Trip” or “Silver Round Trip,” or if you are just going up-then-down the same route. We did the trip ourselves and went up/down from Kriens.

[@mikatu]

no, only Stoos, Rigi and Stanserhorn are included.

[@isthatajojoreference149]

How well do the staff at the various tourist attractions in Switzerland speak English?

[@partyof5adventures]

Everyone speaks English! But I did take 5 years of German which helped.
