Mt.Pilatus?
 

How much is it to do the much talked about cog wheel tour and what is it? Do you go up in a cable car and down with a cog wheel? HELP!

Read this: http://goswitzerland.miningco.com/tr...y/aa122797.htm <BR> <BR> <BR>Not to worry. It is a fun ride and the car is enclosed.

<BR>Nina, as Bob says, don't worry. It's a fun trip with an incredible view. Don't remember the price but it's reasonable and worth it.

A marvelous 30-50 minute journey. While only a short mountain, the view is brilliant on a clear day. <BR> <BR>Cable car from Kriens; alternatively the steepest cograil in Switzerland from Alpnachstad. Can buy a 'circle' roundtrip for the full experience. <BR> <BR>Either point easily accessible from Luzern. Alpnachstad by boat or train; Kriens by tram. <BR> <BR>No info on current prices. Been a couple of years since our last ascent. I'd guess roughly $45 or a bit more ... possibly less. <BR> <BR>More info at www.twenj.com/swissdest.htm <BR> <BR>Rome.Switzerland.Bavaria <BR>www.twenj.com

Did a round trip 30- years ago - boat from Luzern, cog railway up, big cable car down, then small cable car for quite a while, then bus - it was great

my daugher and I went in April 16 years ago. There was still ice at the top and we had to to walk through a tunnel of ice. The view was spectacular. It was well worth whatever price they charged.

Nina, <BR>If you have the opportunity, do it! The boat ride from Luzurn is very nice, as is the cog wheel ride up the mountian (-: Nothing too scary, really. At the top, well, just spectacular (on a clear day). Be sure to take the cable car down. It's a trip you'll be glad you took.
