Silberne Rundfahrt
The "Silver Round Trip" is as versatile and varied as the Pilatus itself. From mid-May to mid-November, discover all the facets of Lucerne's local mountain with the Zentralbahn, the world's steepest cogwheel railroad, the aerial cableway and the panoramic gondola lift.

Another highlight awaits you on the Pilatus: the panoramic view of the Alpine mountain range.
