About this hiking guide

PilatusHike.ch is an independent guide to hiking Mount Pilatus above Lucerne: the routes to the top, the summit trails, the lifts and the bookable Pilatus days. We are not Pilatus-Bahnen, a tourist office, a tour operator or GetYourGuide. We compare what is on offer so you can choose the right day for your legs and the weather.

Facts on this site are checked against official sources (Pilatus-Bahnen timetables and trail pages, Lucerne and Nidwalden tourism, Swiss hiking trail signage rules, MeteoSwiss climate normals), the live GetYourGuide listings including recent guest reviews, and reputable hiking platforms. Timetables change; when a listing or the operator's live page and this site disagree, trust them.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission, and you pay the same price you would pay GetYourGuide directly. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you that most hikers need nothing more than a one-way lift ticket. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
