The tour starts in Lucerne, where the group takes a bus to the valley station of Mount Pilatus. From there, a cable car ride takes participants up to the summit, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Lucerne.
Upon arrival at the top, an easy hike leads to Tomlishorn, the highest point of Mount Pilatus at 2,132 meters above sea level. With a bit of luck, ibexes can be spotted along the way. During the hike, the guide shares fascinating information about the mountain, its plants and animals, as well as its famous legends, including the tale of the Pilatus dragons.
After the approximately one-hour hike, the group takes the cable car back down to Fräkmüntegg, where lunch is prepared over an open fire for an authentic Swiss barbecue experience. The return journey continues by cable car to Kriens, followed by a bus ride back to Lucerne.
The guided hike is only conducted in English.
