Visit the landmarks of Lucerne in winter.
Begin your journey at the Kriens valley station and enjoy the 30-minute ride on the panoramic cable car from Kriens to Fräkmüntegg. In winter, tobogganing and snowshoeing trails lead from Fräkmüntegg down to Krienseregg. The rental station is located at the valley station in Kriens.
At Fräkmüntegg, you board the "Dragon Ride" cable car and reach the Pilatus Kulm summit at 2132 m above sea level in 5 minutes. At the top of Lucerne's icon, you can enjoy the spectacular 360-degree view or discover the Dragon World with interactive games about the legends of Pilatus.
On Krienseregg, Fräkmüntegg, and Pilatus Kulm, you can taste local specialties at one of the restaurants before taking the cable car back down to Kriens.
