View of Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

The steep and challenging path up to the Pilatus is worth it, with incredible views and depths. But only if there is no snow, otherwise it is too dangerous.

January 5, 2024,1️⃣1️⃣6️⃣ Einmal Pilatus rauf & runter mit der Seilbahn 05.01.2024

On the way back from New Year's holidays in Austria, I made a small detour to Pilatus.
I met up with a friend there who absolutely wants to hike this mountain in the summer.
I'm curious to see if we manage it.
