Lucerne
I grouped the Mount Pilatus tours by how they get you up: cogwheel, cable car, or the full Golden Round Trip with a lake boat thrown in. The cogwheel from Alpnachstad is the steepest in the world, climbing at a 48 percent grade. It only runs from spring to late autumn, so check dates first.
Journey into the heart of Lucerne with the Mt. Pilatus adventure tour; prepare to be enchanted by a sequence of thrilling escapades that will leave you breathless.
