Full description

Discover a paradise of snow and ice in the dramatic landscapes of central Switzerland on a 2-day tour of Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Titlis from Zurich.

Day 1: Mt. Pilatus
Relax on the scenic bus journey from Zurich to Lucerne. Enjoy a short introduction city tour on arrival to marvel at landmarks such as the Chapel Bridge before enjoying some time to explore the Old Town on your own. Continue to Kriens to ride the cable car to the summit of Mt. Pilatus, where breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Lucerne await you. Descend on the world's steepest cogwheel railway (48% gradient) down to Alpnachstad and board a public boat for a lovely 1-hour cruise on beautiful Lake Lucerne. Once back to Lucerne, check in at your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure.

Gaze in awe at the deep crevasses and gigantic ice boulders of the glacier on board the revolving cable car. Soak up the panoramic vistas at the top of Mt. Titlis as you enjoy lunch on the sun terrace of one of the restaurants at your own expense.

Mount pilatus was nice but Titilus was a nightmare. Strong winds prevented us reaching the summit and we only found out from the tour guide in the morning. Because it was an overnight tour we were either stuck in Lucerne to find our own way back to Zurich, or to continue the tour but just stay at the base town. The base town was pretty average and not worth the high cost of the tour. I recomended doing day tours from zurich to both of these places separately as the accommodation in lucerne was also average. If you do a day trip and in the morning theres bad weather, you can just get a refund and do something else instead.
