The steepest cogwheel railway in the world, with a gradient of 48% and a length of 4’618 metres, links Alpnachstad with Pilatus Kulm at an altitude of 2’132 m.

The engineer Eduard Locher developed its very particular ingenious rack-and-pinion solution: he dealt with the gradient by using two horizontally rotating cogwheels. The first trip took place in 1889. The masterpiece was also presented at the World’s Fair in Paris that same year.
Mount Pilatus is a tiny paradise of Lucerne in Switzerland that is considered to be the greatest hiking destination. It is composed of many beautiful peaks out of which Tomlishorn is the highest. Once you have reached Mount Pilatus and you look down, the most amazing sight awaits you- Lake Lucerne nestled right into the Swiss Alps!

When you have reached the top, there are a plethora of things for you to do! You can gaze at the Swiss Alps from the viewpoint, or you can drop into one of the bars or restaurants scattered all over the place! You’ll also find a Dragon path at the top of Mount Pilatus where information about the hiking trails and viewing points has been mentioned.

  1. Great content as always! It's indeed a wonderful place to see the swiss Alp. Thank you for sharing and for bringing back my unforgettable memories of Mount Pilatus 🇨🇭

  2. Hugss from Norway Merry Christmas 👏👏🙏🤝🤝🤝😄😄🤍❤️🤍🤗🤗🖐️☃️☃️

  3. What wonderful scenery. It looks much higher than its equivalent height of Flagstaff Arizona – which sits just south of the Grand Canyon. Of course Flagstaff is a gradual climb to the area and this is in the spectacular Alps with its dramatic peaks and valleys. I've been on a few funiculars but I don't think those were as steep either. Thanks very much for these wonderful places and views you bring us.

  4. Het prachtige geluid van de Alpenkraaien…ik krijg alweer heimwee naar de Alpen; ‘s zomers welteverstaan.

  5. The views opening from the mountain peak are fascinating and the trails are equipped very comfortable.
    Mark, you often choose interesting places for your videos! 👍

  6. اطلالة رائعة .. فوق الغيوم ..
    الجبال عالية .. تعرجات طرق المتسلقين .. ثعابين ملتوية .. تنقش تلك الجبال ..
    اصابني رهاب المرتفعات .. لحظات النزول .. من الاعلى ..
    شكراً لك ..

  9. My wife and I have been there – vacationed in Switzerland in 2017 and made it a point to visit Mount Pilatus. Words cannot do it justice but you have captured all the beauty we saw with wonderful clarity.

  10. The views are spectacularly beautiful! The way the stairs are engineered at those angles is amazing. That's the hike of a lifetime.

  11. Like 8K and little bit short, want more and if it possible walt Green zone…. Bravo. Wait new video. Visit Tallinn Welcome.
