In late August this year, we went to the top of mount Pilatus, in central Switzerland. This was a round trip starting and ending in Lucerne, it involved taking a boat across Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstädtersee), a cogwheel railway, a large gondola on an aerial cableway, a small gondola, and a short busride – keeps you busy all day.
The Pilatus Railway is is the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, at 48% gradient, it has been running for more than 100 years.
At the top, at 7000 ft (2100 m), there’s a breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
