WORLD’S STEEPEST COGWHEEL RAILWAYFor many people engineer Eduard Locher was crazy when he put forward the idea of building a railway up to Mount Pilatus in the 19th century. But the 4618 m long stretch of railway wasopened in 1889 (steam operation until 1937) and with its 48 %gradient is still the steepest cogwheel railway in the world.This was achieved by the brilliantly innovative constructionof two horizontally revolving cogwheels.

GOLDEN ROUND TRIPFrom May to October experience the assorted delights of Lucerne’s landmark mountain courtesy of the Golden Round Trip – a half-day or whole-day excursion involving a boat trip, the cogwheel railway, the aerial cableway and panorama gondolas.

WALKING/HIKINGEmbark on a breathtaking voyage of discovery: put your best foot forward on trails offering everything from easy to alpine.

MYTHS & LEGENDSFrom time immemorial, the rugged cliffs high above Lucerne have been shrouded in mysterious myths and legends. Peo-ple in the Middle Ages believed that a dragon with heal-ing powers and spirits inhabited the rocky crevices. It was also said that the ancient Lake Pilatus harbored the restless soul of none other than the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate – now at peace. That explains why ascents of the Pilatus were forbidden for a very long time. Cursed be they, it was thought, who disturb the Pilatus!

FAUNA & FLORAThe alpine ibex on Mount Pilatus are popular tourist attrac-tions. There have been ibexes on the Pilatus for more than 40 years. The waymarked flower trail between Pilatus Kulm and Tomlishorn takes you past upwards of 100 flowers, all labeled.

The entirely renovated Hotel Pilatus-Kulm offers a blend of historical ambience and con-temporary comfort.
