What people say
Stephen Jiroch
"There’s 2 ways to reach the peak of Mt. Pilatus during the summer time! You can either take the cogwheel train from Alpnachstad or cable car from Kriens. You’d leave the van at either of the base parking lots.
Parking at both the Kriens Parking Lot and the Alpnachstad lot costs 5 CHF per day.
The price for the tickets themselves is the same for either option and Swiss travel passes do get you discounts here!
You can add on a hike if you want too!"
