Why this trip

Pilatus or Rigi: this question arises in Lucerne for almost everyone seeking mountains. Both peaks lie on Lake Lucerne and can be reached by lifts, yet their paths show what lies behind them. On the Pilatus the Klimapfad leads over rock ledges and tunnels, on the Rigi you walk through alpine pastures with a wide view of the lake and the Central Swiss Alps. Both destinations suit a day with manageable ascent.

Active travellers can explore the city itself, from the Lion Monument past the Spreuer Bridge to the Glacier Garden, a place where the Ice Age and rock become visible. On the water the lake offers room for stand-up paddling, kayaking and swimming in summer. From June to September the conditions for mountain paths are best. Engelberg, Andermatt, Grindelwald and Zurich lie nearby as neighbours and allow stages into larger mountain landscapes.

For travellers from Switzerland this means: no flight time, no visa question. Which days you spend at the lake and which on the mountain is something Adventure plans together with you.
