It depends on which route you choose, whether you arrive by car and park it in Kriens/Alpnachstad or take public transport from Lucerne.

In winter, only the gondola runs from Kriens.

If you have the opportunity in summer, we recommend that you first take the gondola from Kriens to Mount Pilatus (with a change of trains in Frakmüntegg), which takes about 35 minutes. On site, you should allow about 2 hours for sightseeing (depending on the weather and if you want to eat in the restaurant). Afterwards, take the steepest funicular in the world back down to Alpnachstad, which takes about 35 minutes. This route can also be done in the opposite direction.

When ordering, you must enter a specific date on our site, on which you would like to make the excursion. Thus, you are bound to this date and cannot change it flexibly.
