Mount Pilatus rises above Lucerne to nearly 2,100 metres and can be reached by the steepest cogwheel railway in the world from Alpnachstad, or by cable car from Kriens. The summit has panoramic terraces, walking trails and a restaurant. A popular round trip uses the boat, train and cable car in a loop from Lucerne, taking about five hours and one of the best places to visit near the city.
