This was by far the best excursion we have had while in Europe. Great views, great times and good value. We rode the cable car up and the cogwheel down, thereby seeing both sides of the mountain. It was fantastic!! Many activities available for extra costs that we did not partake of, mainly due to old knees. But they sure looked fun.

It was a wonderful experience and the views were amazing! It is nice there is a restaurant prior the the final cable car ride to the top, especially if you have to wait out some weather, as we did. You should leave yourself at least an hour on top to take in the views and to climb the steps to either summit.

Impressive mountain with panoramic views going up. Our morning experience was less crowded than the afternoon, but the cloud cover was extensive at the top. If you’re okay with crowds, I recommend starting around noon or one when the temps increase and burn off the clouds. Would definitely recommend as a must-do activity if traveling to Lucerne.
