Matthorn

Matthorn and Pilatus-South Point offers an undeniably majestic view of the Swiss Alps and alpine lakes. At the summit of Pilatus mountain - the highest mountain in the region - you will be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding snow-capped mountain ranges, as well as Lake Lucerne and Uri Glacier. With a short trip up the world's steepest cogwheel railway, you can explore the lush slopes of this Swiss wonderland and enjoy traditional Swiss cuisine in the stations that run along the line. If you time your visit well, you can also be one of the lucky few to experience the special events that take place in the area. A short trip to Alpnachstad, the starting point of the railway, offers an insight into everyday life in a rural Swiss village and a glimpse into the old-world charm of this country.
