About this experience
Mt. Pilatus Self-Guided Tour by Cable Car and Aerial Cableway This self-guided cable car adventure takes you from Kriens Valley station to the summit of Mt. Pilatus at 2,132 metres above sea level. You'll travel in comfortable panorama gondolas with floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying spectacular Alpine views as you ascend through the mountain landscape. The journey includes two distinct cable car rides: first to Fräkmüntegg station, then aboard the thrilling Dragon Ride aerial cableway to Pilatus Kulm summit. At your own pace, you can explore snow activities at Fräkmüntegg including sledging routes and snowshoe trails, visit the interactive Dragon World exhibit at the summit, and take in panoramic mountain vistas from multiple viewpoints. The tour allows complete flexibility with no set schedules, so you can spend as much time as you wish at each station before making your descent back to Kriens. What is Included Round-trip cable car transport from Kriens Valley station to Mt. Pilatus summit Access to panorama gondola and Dragon Ride aerial cableway Entry to Dragon World interactive exhibits and games Access to walking trails and viewpoints at Pilatus Kulm Equipment rental available at Kriens Valley station for snow activities Good to Know The tour operates as a self-guided experience with no time restrictions, allowing you to explore at your leisure. Both cable car systems are wheelchair accessible, making this adventure suitable for visitors with mobility requirements.

The Dragon Ride aerial cableway journey from Fräkmüntegg to the summit takes just five minutes, whilst the panorama gondola offers a more leisurely ascent through the lower mountain slopes.
