Spectacular view from the summit. Walk-in caves that were built on the mountain that hugs the mountain that allows the visitor to see different views of the lake/ city. There is also some hikes up if you want to go out to the platform. It was a bit chill so a light jacket maybe helpful. Coffee shop and lounge area are available. We came on the weekday with a beautiful weather, so it was a plus. Plenty of paid parking that is 3-5 mins walk away. Swiss pass will cover 100% of The cost, which is 80 CHF round trip. Check the weather before you go. Outdoor activities also available, like the toboggan, which costs extra money and I think it worths it
One of the most memorable things I will ever do in my life. We took the cog train up and the cable car down While at the top of the mountain we explored the trails, ate, took a million pictures and absorbed as much as possible.
I loved this experience. Watching the cable cars come and go was fun. The views are incredible. The ride down was quick and easy. As expected the food was quite pricey and took time to get, but was tasty. A lovely afternoon spent here with friends.
A fun trip to the top of the world! Amazing views. Dress warm bc it's us cold and windy! Visit the cafe for some hot chocolate or coffee and the merch store!
A must see. Several stops up the railcard with restaurants and activities. The top has breathtaking views
Mount Pilatus offers absolutely stunning views and a memorable experience. The journey up is scenic, and the panoramic views from the top are breathtaking. A must-visit spot when in Switzerland.
Unforgettable moments with my Mom & Dad and we enjoyed our golden circle trip ✨️, it was worth it.
The ascent of Mount Pilatus, after a train ride from Lucerne, was by a modern fast and steep rising funicular, which offered splendid vistas of Lake Lucerne and surroundings. The alternative decent was via 2 linked cable cars, offering further spectacular views, and finally a short walk to bus no 1 for the ride back to centre of town. This is called the Silver Tour, and is highly recommended on a cloud free day with good visibility from the top!

Our perfect experiences with the team! Good service and very patient people . My girl 5 yrs old also fly with us . The team take care of her very well! Professional, safe and good services .luzern s view s so good
An amazing experience!! I am afraid of heights so was quite nervous about this adventure but everyone at Paragliding Luzern was lovely to deal with and so supportive. Very professional, transport was easy, fair price, no communication issues. I felt safe and confident, and the flight was truly magical. Don’t miss out! Highly recommend!
BEST paragliding experience ever!!! The best pilots that were so personable and made it so fun! They also were very accommodating to our big family of 7! I wouldn’t use anyone else. I will tell all my friends and family to use these guys when they come here. I will be back!
Amazing flight! We booked by phone last minute and they were so kind to fit us in last minute! Amazing videos and photos, and absolutely friendly the entire way ☺️ If they ask if you like roller coasters, don’t even think! Just say absolutely!
Amazing flight! Always wished to try Paragliding in Switzerland and finally got a chance to do it. The views of lake Luzern and surrounding mountains from above was breathtaking! Experienced pilot and I had so much fun. Thank you Zac and the team for an amazing and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended :)
Well, it happened… I left my husband a free afternoon to plan an activity, and he chose paragliding. I’m very upset, because it turned out I loved it very much. I recommend the full shabang, get the transport and the photos, it ease makes the upgrade worthwhile and the photos are priceless if you want to scare your parents and grandma. 1000000/10, would go again. I had Marius as my pilot, he was outstanding. His preflight information was very well instructed and clear, he was a soothing flier who gave me the chance to pass on the “rollercoaster” fast moves (I went for them anyways, it was fun). He let me acclimatize at my own pace. Takeoff was smooth, landing was soft. I really had a great time. But Marius was a large reason for that - I was expecting to cry in terror haha. I appreciated that the photos were transferred to me immediately. Highly recommend.
Matteo’s was the best!!! Kind encouraging and comforting. My pilot started our flight with run run run and then we were off. Smooth sailing. He gave me control of our aircraft again instructing me to pull right then left. Ending with small roller coaster moves and a perfect landing. Thank you for a great morning flight.
Had the most incredible experience!! The team was so accommodating — they managed to fit us in last minute and even drove us back to Luzern afterwards. The flight itself was absolutely breathtaking, with the most magnificent views I’ve ever seen. The instructors were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe while still keeping the whole experience fun and exciting. I can’t recommend this company enough — it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I’ll never forget!

Nice church in Kriens, looks picturesque across the street from the bus stop area.
Pretty sight as you walk to the cable car. 🚠
Amazing church with big history. Had whole place to myself and the silence was welcoming 🙏.
The Barrock paintings in this church gives it a sense of beauty which envelopes one into a beautiful serenity. I love this church!!

Fantastic experience, and very professional and safe conduct. I booked a flight as a birthday present for my girlfriend, and this company was recommended to me by a paragliding friend who doesn’t have a tandem flight license. It couldn’t have been better. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Good communication and clear instructions, no risks taken and made us feel safe at all times. She took off from Pilatus Kulm at 2020 m and landed at the FC Luzern football practice pitch, due to wind direction. 40 minute flight that felt like 10. Book the extended flight time to make the most of the experience. I highly recommend Marcel and his team. Werni was the pilot, who also took care of filming during the flight witha GoPro. Awesome experience for my gf and memories that last forever. I‘m definitely doing this now, too.
The most panoramic if flights I ever made! Marcel is a very reliable confident and funny guide!! The ride was perfect!! Thank you so much!
Marcel and Ollie were great. Very easy to book. The flight experience was amazing, will never forget. The views from Pilatus were spectacular. Cannot recommend Tandemflug enough.
One of the best experiences I have ever done! I flew with Marcel and he was such a great guide. He was so kind and answered all my questions. I couldn’t recommend enough!
Most amazing experience ever!! Would do it a thousand times 💕 the pilots were amazing, we did tricks and everything! Honestly I cried so much because it was incredible
5 stars!! Marcell was absolutely fantastic and made us feel at ease about this wild experience! My son had a blast and it was the highlight of our Switzerland vacation! Highly recommend!!!
Great flight with Freeminds Tandemflug on April 22th! Perfect conditions from Mt Rigi with just enough lift to explore the cliffs on the West side of Arth-Goldau :)) Marcel is the expert, extra smooth operator master of the art with thousands of flights behind his belt!! Thanks to my family for this great Birthday present!!! Olivier
Amazing flight! A must do experience! My flight with Marcel was an hour long soaring high above the mountain range, alongside the rocky outcrops heading down the mountain overhead Kriens. From snow capped mountains in the distance to green mountainside plunging down into the blue of Lake Lucerne it’s hard to describe how breathtaking this scenery is. The view must be experienced to be believed Marcel is super friendly, great communication and most of all is an excellent pilot. Amazing day!!

Nice! Great natural pool combined with themepark style elements and a pebble beach. Wounderful baby area underneath big trees. Lots of infrastructure. Reasonable price. Access to Beach-Volley fields.... Nice.
Very nice quality sand and nets, but couldn't find the bathroom 😅
Great for kids with lots of water attractions. It was not very busy when we visited but heard it can get really crowded on weekends
Need a place to relax, cool off in natural bio regulated and cleaned pools, get good, reasonably priced food, and let the kids have stress-free fun? This is your place. Cool slides for little, big and biggest kids, plus fun water parks for toddlers. This Badi is definitely worth a visit or 3 during the Badi season.
A perfect plan for a sunny summer day! We have been quite a few times with our 2-year old child and we are already looking forward to next year!
Country club like installation with many outdoor sport option plus great pool. Public and very low priced. Bring your kids.
Best pool in the area!
I like the new renovation and slide in the summer and its cool its open in the winter even though no swimming.
