About the place

Cableway to the skies

Embark on an unforgettable journey to Lucerne's iconic mountain, Mount Pilatus, with a round-trip cable car ticket. Start at Kriens Valley Station and savor a scenic 30-minute ride to Fräkmüntegg.

At the peak, you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and the serene beauty of Lake Lucerne.

Enchanting dragon path
