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 Pilatus Mountain Golden Tour refers to the way of playing from Lucerne through cruise/train to Alpnachstad- Alpine Gear Train-Peak-Cable Car down the mountain to Klein-Bus 1, or the way to play in turn, like a ring-shaped way, so it is called the Golden Tour. How to get to Mount Pilatus? From Lucerne Pier (opposite the train station) take the ferry to Alpnachstad, usually 1 hour, about 1 hour, will dock at other piers in the middle, do not care about it, take the destination, disembark after the boat flow through the tunnel to the cable car station, there is a small counter for staff, They will arrange the shift of the rear gear train, which usually runs for 30 minutes. If you come by train, the station is next to the pier. It is the same. The time can be saved for half an hour, but you don't experience the lake and mountains. The Swiss Pass is free to go up the mountain. You need to change your ticket at this counter and wait for the mountain. There are usually several cars coming down together. It takes about half an hour to get on the bus, and the light is infinite, and finally reaches the station at the top of the mountain. There is a hotel and shop on the top of the mountain, you can climb two small peaks to see the surrounding scenery. Go down the mountain and take the cable car on the other side. There will be a stop to change the cable car. There is a forest playground, a taxi and a children's climbing park. Then go up the cable car down the mountain, the destination is Klein, the whole down the mountain for about half an hour. After reaching the cable car station under the mountain, there is a sign To City Bus#1. You can follow the sign. It is very convenient. When there is a fork, there must be a sign indicating the direction. Everyone will cross some villages and small roads. Walk for about 10 minutes to reach the main road. There is a bus stop on the road by everyone. It is the 1 tram. Get on the bus and get off at Lucerne Pier, which is the place to get on the boat. If there is time, the golden tour is still very good. The whole tour time is 4-5 hours.

On the world's steepest train on the snowy mountains, but the feeling in the carriage is not very large. The beauty of the mountaintop is languageless. After climbing to the top, I met the long horn band playing, which is very Swiss. The snow scene here is beautiful, the countryside is clean and tidy, green and quiet, it is really pastoral scenery. From the mountain, all kinds of villas are built around the lake, which is simply the most suitable place for human living.
