With large panoramic windows, a steep ascent and the feeling of gliding through the air, the modern "Dragon Ride" aerial cableway takes you spectacularly from Fräkmüntegg to Pilatus Kulm. In just 3.5 minutes, you will be soaring high above Lake Lucerne and experiencing a flying sensation in a class of its own. Almost like flying, only safer. Breathtaking views and a touch of hang-gliding magic make this ride an unforgettable experience.
