Lucerne: Mt. Pilatus Cable Car, Cogwheel Train & Lake Cruise

2.Mt. Pilatus Cable Car, Cogwheel Train & Lake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,338 reviews · 5.5 hours · from $212

Cable car and Dragon Ride up Mt. Pilatus, steep cogwheel train down, and a Lake Lucerne cruise back, guided from Lucerne.

“The trip was fantastic and our guide was great. The scenery riding up the Gondola and the Tram to the top of Mt Pilatus was spectacular. We were even blessed with the first snow of the season once we got to the top. The views were breathtaking. The Cog Wheel train ride down a unique experience and of the course the boat ride back to Lucerne was awesome. Highly recommend this tour”
