Mt. Pilatus Travel Reviews

Aug 08, 2007
I work for an educational travel company called Explorica (www.explorica.com) and recently had the opportunity to go on a tour of Germany, Switzerland & Austria. One of the excursions on the tour was a trip to (and up) Mt. Pilatus. The mountain was amazing! I went with the tour, but you can get a package at the tourist information center. Once you get to the base you take the world's steepest cog train to the top. The train ride itself is great, but the view from the top is what is really worth it! There are some paths and trails to walk and different adventure parks and toboggan rides for kids. It all ends with a relaxing gondola ride to the bottom - not to be missed!

Couldn't agree more! Did the trip about 12 years ago, it was beautiful...although the tour went the other way for us!! Up the gondola and down the cog railway...it was misty on the trip down, could hear the Swiss cow bells, but couldn't see the cows. Kept expecting Heidi to appear from the mist!

But it was from here i made my way to the top of Mt Pilatus which all up took about 45-60 minutes from the hotel as a starting point.
