Mt Rigi & Mt Pilatus - 2 Peaks in 1 Day
Overview
Mt. Pilatus & Mt. Rigi - if you only have one day in Lucerne and can't decide which mountain do go up, why not choose them both? Our "Two Peaks in One Day" private tour enables you to experience the best of both mountains in one day.
Start with Mt Rigi and its stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding Alps; visit an artisan alpine cheese-maker and walk a panoramic ridge route with views over 3 lakes. Relax with a picnic lunch on a scenic boat cruise before ascending to the top of Mt. Pilatus by gondola and “Dragon Ride” cableway. Return to lake level on the world’s steepest cogwheel train ride and then a quick and easy train ride back to Lucerne.
Please note in winter, there may be a change in the cruise itinerary due to weather conditions. In such cases, the tour may be replaced with an equally enchanting train journey, ensuring you still experience the charm of the city.
Private tour with an expert local English-speaking guide.
