Mount Pilatus

Nature reserve

About this hidden gem

Mount Pilatus is Lucerne's iconic house mountain, where you travel slowly up by cable car to a completely different view.

Why you really want to visit this place
The trip up is an experience in itself. First you glide over the landscape in small gondolas, then transfer to a larger cabin towards the top. Along the way, you look out over mountains and valleys and spot unusual details, such as a small chapel secluded on the mountain. At the top, the surroundings invite you to walk around and take in the view. Even without a long hike, it feels like you are in the middle of the mountains for a while here.

This is how they (and you) make a difference
