Your Experience
Rejoice, for plenty of fun-filled activities are peppered along your itinerary! This tour promises an exciting day visiting the enchanting city of Lucerne to hovering above the Albis Pass to drifting along the shores of Lake of the Four Cantons! Start at Lucerne, where your guide will point out main city landmarks as you pass them by: the Chapel Bridge, the Town Hall, the Jesuit Church, and the Culture and Congress Centre are a few to name. Continue onto Kriens, where a panoramic Gondola to Fräkmüntegg awaits you.
Hop aboard the aerial cableway "Dragon Ride" and enjoy jaw-dropping views from the panoramic windows. Once you're at the top of Mt. Pilatus, hike to the summit or venture down the Dragon's Path- the choice is yours. You'll find yourself relaxing on the panorama terrace, where delicious sights of the Swiss Alps and the blue lakes frame your view. But the highlight of your trip is yet to come: a thrilling descent on the world's steepest cogwheel railway! You'll also enjoy an hour-long cruise on the calm Lake of the Four Cantons, where the spectacular landscape can be absorbed from a unique vantage point!
