2024年6月5日 · Mount Pilatus is one of the most famous mountains in Switzerland, best known for local legends, fabulous hiking trails, and stunning panoramic views. Thanks to a cogwheel railway and cable cars, the mountain summit is easily …

2024年12月29日 · At Fräkmuntëgg, you'll change for the 55-passenger cable car to Pilatus, also called the "Dragon Ride". This is a shorter, spectacular stretch, crossing the deep rocky ravines just below the mountain station and with panoramic views to the north, east, and west.

2024年12月31日 · The fastest and the cheapest way to visit Mt Pilatus from Lucerne is by taking an RBus to Kriens (“Kriens, Zentrum Pilatus” bus stop), followed by a 5-10 minutes walk to the cable car station, and then a cable car from Kriens to the top of Mt Pilatus (Pilatus Kulm).

2023年8月8日 · The cable car ride from Kriens to Mt Pilatus actually involves two different cable cars. The first is a 4-person gondola to Fräkmüntegg, then the Dragon Ride (a big aerial cableway) to Mt Pilatus. The entire journey to the top takes about half an hour.

It requires two separate cable rides to reach the top, a small 4 person gondola from Kriens to Fräkmüntegg, and a larger 40 person cable tram car rising to the Pilatus summit.

It takes the cableway a mere 3.5 minutes to reach Pilatus (2073 m a.s.l.) from the intermediate station Fräkmüntegg (1416 m a.s.l.). Thanks to spacious seating, a cockpit-like structure and large windows, the cableway offers a unique view of Lucerne and its lake.
