⛰️ Mount Pilatus – The Dragon Mountain of Lucerne ⛰️

Towering over Lake Lucerne, Mount Pilatus is one of Switzerland’s most legendary peaks, often called the Dragon Mountain due to myths of dragons living in its caves. At 2,128 meters, it rewards visitors with breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the Swiss Alps, the lake, and even as far as the Black Forest on a clear day.

Reaching Pilatus is an adventure in itself. You can ride the world’s steepest cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, a thrilling ascent through alpine meadows and rocky cliffs. Alternatively, take the Panorama Gondolas and Dragon Ride aerial cableway from Kriens. Many travelers combine both for the famous Golden Round Trip—train, boat, cogwheel, and cable car in one unforgettable journey.

At the summit, enjoy hiking trails, skywalks, or simply relax at one of the mountain restaurants while soaking in the view. In winter, Pilatus turns into a snowy wonderland with sledding and skiing options.

✨ Tip: Go early in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the magical moment when the sun rises above the Alps, painting the lake golden.
