Start your trip at Alpnachstad or Kriens valley station and enjoy the 30 minutes ride with the world's steepest cogwheel railway (from Alpnachstad) or with the panorama-gondola and aerial Cableway “Dragon Ride” (from Kriens). At the top of Lucerne's landmark mountain, you can enjoy the great panoramic view over the Swiss mountains, Lake Lucerne and the city of Lucerne - either from the spacious panorama terrace outside or the cosy panorama gallery inside. After a few minutes, you can also reach one of the three peaks at Pilatus Kulm (Esel, Oberhaupt or Tomlishorn) and enjoy your walk in the Swiss mountains or on the Dragon Path. Pilatus is also called Dragon mountain because of the legends about a dragon living there - learn about these myths in the Dragon World at Pilatus Kulm.

At Alpnachstad and at Pilatus Kulm you can try some specialities in one of the restaurants. Even Queen Victoria stayed at the Pilatus mountain, and one of the restaurants at Pilatus Kulm is named after her. When you decide to take the cable car to/from Kriens you can enjoy various leisure activities (at additional costs) like the biggest rope park of Central Switzerland (suitable for visitors from 4 years old), the Dragon Glider or the longest Summer toboggan run in Switzerland at the station Fräkmüntegg.

At Fräkmüntegg you will change to the cable car “Dragon Ride” and reach the summit Pilatus Kulm at 2132 metres above sea level in 5 minutes.
At Krienseregg and Fräkmüntegg you can try some local specialities in one of the restaurants before heading back to Kriens by cable car.
