The Iconic Mountains of Lucerne
Rigi and Pilatus
Lucerne is surrounded by mountains. Two stand out: dragon mountain Pilatus and the historic Rigi. One towers high amidst rugged rocky peaks, while the other is friendly and gentle. We can’t choose, so we do both, first by boat and train to the Rigi, and then by gondola to the Pilatus.
