Mt. Pilatus: Self-Guided Tour by Cable Car + Aerial Cableway from/to Kriens
About this experience
Take an exciting trip to the beautiful Kriens Valley station, where a scenic 30-minute gondola ride awaits to take you to the snowy wonderland of Fräkmüntegg. Adventure-seekers can enjoy sledding routes or snowshoe trails back to Krienseregg. Furthermore, if you need gears, the Kriens Valley station has everything you need.
Next, hop on the "Dragon Ride," a spectacular cableway that will transport you to the summit of Pilatus Kulm at a height of 2132 meters in just five minutes. At the summit, admire the incredible views or explore the Dragon World, where interactive games make the mythical Pilatus dragons come alive.
When hunger strikes, eateries at Krienseregg, Fräkmüntegg, and Pilatus Kulm offer delicious local cuisine. Afterward, glide back to Kriens via cable car, concluding your mountain adventure.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
