At 9:30am, you’ll meet your private guide at your hotel, and travel to the Basel train station for your train to Lucerne. After roughly an hour, you’ll arrive in the lakeside city, which is beloved for its endearing mountain views.
Take to the water for a 1-hour Lake Lucerne cruise, and soak up vistas of the lake and town against the backdrops of Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus. Dock in Alpnachstad in time for a coffee (own expense), then board the Pilatus railway for a ride on one of the world’s steepest cogwheel railway lines.
In just over half an hour, you’ll ascend the summit of Mt. Pilatus, one of Switzerland’s most famous and dramatic peaks. Towering at some 6,981 feet (2,128 meters) above sea level, the summit is known for its sweeping vistas over the surrounding Alps.
Stroll around the summit area, and climb through the rocks to discover some little-known military artifacts around the peak. Or, use your time at the top to visit the panoramic viewing gallery. Relax over lunch at a mountain restaurant (own expense), then begin your descent with your guide.
Take the gondola to Fräkmüntegg and then Kriens. Here, you’ll board a bus to Lucerne, and then take an intercity train back to Basel. Your day trip ends at your Basel hotel in the early evening, around 5:30pm.
