Mount Pilatus

Recommended to take the Golden Ring Line, do not go back to experience different traffic, cruise ship-gear train-cable car-train, all the way to the beautiful scenery, there are many outdoor activities on the mountain, very interesting

Mt. Pilatus is an Alpine mountain overlooking the famous city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. The Pilatus Golden Tour is the only tour route in Switzerland that links lake and mountaineering in a series of different means of transportation. Pilatus Mountain is 2,132 meters above sea level, 15 kilometers southwest of Lucerne, the highest Alpine peak on the shoreline of Lake Lucerne (Lake Lucerne).

I am glad that I completed my trip to Switzerland last year, otherwise I don’t know when I will see the beauty of Switzerland. The Swiss Pilatus Mountain is very worth going, the scenery is very good, there are cable cars throughout the whole process, not too tired, the top of the mountain can see the opposite St. Regis Mountain, even if it is just October, the mountain feels quite cold.

It is the world’s steepest toothed rail mountaineering train and the only access to the top of Mount Pilatus from Alpnachstad on Lake Josen. The railway, built in 1889 by engineers and 600 brave Italian workers and many locals in Switzerland over three summers, remains the world's steepest toothed track mountaineering railway with the largest inclination of 48 degrees. By train or cable car, you can reach the elevation of Lake Lusen, climb to the top of Pilatus Peak, from the wind and sunshine down the mountain to the turquoise meadows, then up is the tall arboretum, then the pine trees with snow, and finally the Pilatus Peak Station, the scenery is unparalleled.

Mount Piratus, more than 2,100 meters above sea level, is one of Lucerne’s iconic attractions, from the pier in downtown Lucerne to the foot of the mountain to transfer to the world’s steepest gear train.

The Golden Tour of Pilatus Mountain refers to the way from Lucerne to Alpnachstad-Alpine Gear Train-Peak-Cable Car Downhill to Klein-Bus No. 1 to Lucerne by boat/train, or the way to return to Lucerne by the other way, which is like a circular way, so it is called the golden tour. How to get to Pilatus? The ferry to Alpnachstad from Lucerne Pier (opposite the railway station) usually runs one hour and one hour. It stops at other wharfs on the way, regardless of the destination. After getting off the ship, it flows down the tunnel to the cable station. There are staff's small counters. They will arrange to take the back gear train. The gear train usually runs for 30 minutes. If you come by train, the station is right next to the dock, and the same is true. It can save half an hour, but it does not experience the scenery of lakes and mountains. Swiss pass is free to use on the hill. You need to change tickets at this counter and wait for it to go up the hill. Usually there are several cars coming down together. It takes about half an hour to get on the bus, and the road is endless. Finally, it reaches the station on the top of the mountain. There is a hotel and shop on the top of the hill. You can climb two small peaks to see the beautiful scenery around. Down the hill, take the cable car on the other side. There will be a stop to change the cable car. There are forest playgrounds, pulleys and children's climbing paradise. Then go up the cable car and down the mountain, the destination is Klein, the whole downhill for about half an hour. After reaching the cable station downhill, there is a sign to City Bus#1. It's very convenient for you to follow the sign. When there is a turnout, there must be a sign indicating the direction. You will cross some villages and small roads and walk for about 10 minutes to the main road. There is a bus stop on your side of the road, that is, the No. 1 tram. You can get on and get off at Lucerne Pier, that is, you can get on board the ship. Place. If you have time, the Golden Tour is still very good. The whole trip lasts 4-5 hours.

Riding on the world's steepest train to the snow mountain, but feeling in the carriage is not very steep. The beauty on the top of the hill is without a language table. After climbing the top, I met a long horn band playing, which is very Swiss. The snowscape here is beautiful, the countryside is clean and tidy, green and quiet, and the countryside scenery is infinitely good. Seen from the mountains, villas of all kinds are built around the lake, which is the most suitable place for human beings to live.

I've seen a lot of scenery, but Pilatus is the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my life so far. Sunshine, lake, snow mountain, blue sky, white clouds... Switzerland must be God's favorite child. It's easy to get there by public transport from Lucerne. Mount Pilatus, 2123 meters above sea level, is a perfect peak for every tourist.
