For reference only. Itineraries are subject to change due to weather, traffic and other circumstances.

Travel from Zurich to Lucerne in a comfortable coach. Pass through Albis Pass and follow the shores of Lake Lucerne. In Lucerne, take a quick photo stop before your guide shows you landmarks like the Chapel Bridge, Town Hall, Jesuit Church, and the Culture and Convention Centre (KKL). You'll have free time to grab a snack, shop, or walk through the Old Town.

From Lucerne, head to Kriens and board a gondola to Fräkmüntegg before switching to the Dragon Ride cableway for 360º views. At Mt. Pilatus' summit (2,132 meters high), visit the interactive Dragon World, walk the Dragon Trail, or hike to the peak (weather permitting).

Then, relax on the terrace with views of the Swiss Alps and lakes and have a classic Swiss lunch at a mountain restaurant. Then, descend on the world's steepest cogwheel railway (48% gradient) to Alpnachstad.

Finally, enjoy a 1-hour boat cruise on Lake Lucerne. The tour ends at the port in Lucerne, or you can take a coach back to Zurich.
