About
Pilatus is a mountain above Lucerne in central Switzerland, served by the world's steepest cogwheel railway and an aerial cableway from Kriens. It is primarily a sightseeing and sledging destination rather than a developed ski resort, with only minor lift-served skiing on its upper slopes near Fräkmüntegg. Two toboggan runs totalling about 8 kilometres are its main winter draw.
