3.Mount Pilatus Summit from Lucerne With Lake Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,260 reviews · 5 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $223

Ride gondolas, the Dragon Ride, steep cogwheel train, and Lake Lucerne cruise on a scenic half-day Mount Pilatus tour from Lucerne.

“The experience of the cogwheell train and the views from the summit are spectacular. We had lunch in the restaurant which was also wonderful. My only complaint is that since the time of year we were not able to do the gondola ride or the boat ride, I think the price should be decreased.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 363 reviews · from $39

Review of Lake Lucerne’s one-hour yacht cruise, with Alpine views, audio commentary, onboard bar, practical tips, price advice, and honest drawbacks.

“Very little information. I was hoping to get more information about the city and country. The information they have was not relevant. They also sailed very far from the coast so capturing photos was difficult. It’s just a short boat ride. Nothing more. I would not recommend this.”

If you are not interested in hiking back down to kaltbad from kulm make sure you study the train schedule! We stayed in Weggis and took the boat to Lucerne later with no issues.”

Cruise Lake Lucerne, ride Mt. Rigi’s cogwheel train and cable car, then relax in the Rigi Kaltbad mineral baths on a flexible Swiss day trip.

“Fantastic experience using the Mineralbad Spa (although shame about the rain clouding our view) and all the transport went smoothly, even using our Viator issued e-ticket. Highly recommend going back via the Weggis cable car (the views were amazing once the sun came out) and checking the latest timetable for each transport link.”
