Overview

Visit Lucerne’s landmark mountain Mt. Pilatus, with a 4-hour cable car and fondue tasting experience. Start at Valley Station in Kriens, and enjoy a 30-minute aerial 'Panorama Gondola' ride, suspended cable propelled car over a pre-Alpine landscape to reach Fräkmüntegg. Here, you'll transfer to the cable car known as the 'Dragon Ride.' After another five minutes, arrive 7,000 feet above sea level (2,132 metres). Soak up the panoramic views over the lake and Alps. Then return on 'Dragon Ride' to Fräkmüntegg for Swiss fondue. After this Swiss lunch, take the 'Panorama Gondola' back to Kriens.
