Pilatus lies just about an hour’s drive from Zurich, and with SWIVON you reach it from Zurich door to door with a private chauffeur, with no transfers, no searching for parking, and no pressure from timetables. We bring you to the base station of your choice, in Kriens to the panorama gondola or in Alpnachstad to the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, which screws its way spectacularly up the rock face. At the top, a wide panorama awaits you over countless Alpine peaks and the lakes of Central Switzerland, on clear days reaching far into the Mittelland and the Bernese Alps. You can hike the scenic ridge path, stop in at one of the mountain restaurants, or simply let your gaze wander while your chauffeur waits below. We tailor the day to your pace and are happy to combine the summit with a stroll through Lucerne, past the Chapel Bridge and the lakeside promenade. You purchase the mountain railway and gondola tickets yourself on site; we take care of the drive and the relaxed journey home.
