62. Excursions

63. The "Golden Round Trip" takes visitors
by boat, rack railway, aerial cableway
and panoramic gondola to the most
beautiful spots around Mount Pilatus and
to the summit. This experience to
discover the diversity of Lucerne's local
mountain is available from May to
October. The gondola lift is open all year
round.
Pilatus
Luzern

64. Meetings and team events on the
queen of the mountains promise
events with foresight. Located in the
heart of Central Switzerland, you
can reach the Rigi easily from any
direction. The rack railways from
Arth-Goldau or Vitznau as well as
the cable car from Weggis take you
comfortably into the idyllic mountain
world at almost 1,800 metres above
sea level.
Rigi
Luzern

65. After the funicular ride from 1893, take
the CabriO aerial cable car up to the
Stanserhorn - 1,900 metres above
everyday life. 100 kilometres of alpine
panorama and ten Swiss lakes lie at your
feet and culinary delights await you in
the revolving restaurant.
Stanserhorn
Nidwalden

66. Engelberg at the foot of the Titlis is only
45 minutes away from Lucerne. The
peak of the highest excursion mountain
in Central Switzerland is 3,020 metres
above sea level - high enough to be
covered with snow even in summer. The
ride on the Rotair - the world's first
revolving cable car, the view from the
Titlis Cliff Walk and the walk through the
glacier grotto with its ice sculptures
promise pure spectacle.
