点评:It was a spontaneous decision to visit Mt Pilatus. I was on my way to Luzern, and the view of the mountains was just mesmerizing. It was a clear day.
I had not planned anything in advance.
When I exited the train station, I took a bus to Kriens (it could be a 10-15 min shuttle or a regular bus). The ticket price might be included in your train ticket. That was my case. The bus driver confirmed that.
When I arrived in Kriens, I had to walk uphill for about 10 minutes. The signs were guiding me. I bought the gondola ticket right there. There was no line. If you have a travel pass, you’ll get a discount. Ofc you can book the ticket online.
After that, I hopped on the gondola. The ride up took 30 min. You can exit after 15 min, but I did not. After a 30 min ride, you’ll have to change the gondola. There is a restaurant there too in case you would like to take a break. At this stage, the views are already breathtaking. To reach the summit, you have to take another gondola, bigger one. It runs every 15 minutes. It’s a 5 min ride. And here you are, on top of Mount Pilatus.
There are a few restaurants there. A gift shop. And even a hotel. I spent about 1,5 hours having a coffee and soaking up the views.
It wasn’t crowded that day, but I guess during peak season it can get quite packed.
翻译:去皮拉图斯山完全是临时起意。当时我正要去卢塞恩,沿途的山景美得令人陶醉。那天天气晴朗。
我事先没有任何计划。
出了火车站,我搭乘巴士前往克林斯(可能是10-15分钟的短途巴士,也可能是普通巴士)。车票可能包含在火车票里,我的车票就是这种情况,巴士司机也确认了这一点。
到达克林斯后,我步行上山大约10分钟,沿途都有指示牌。我在那里买了缆车票,不用排队。如果你有旅行通票,可以享受折扣。当然,你也可以在网上订票。
之后,我登上了缆车。上山的路程大约30分钟。15分钟后就可以下车,但我没有。30分钟后需要换乘一次缆车。那里也有一家餐厅,如果您想休息一下的话。此时此刻,景色已经美得令人窒息。要到达山顶,您需要乘坐另一条缆车线路,这条线路更大一些。缆车每15分钟一班,车程5分钟。现在,您已经登上了皮拉图斯山顶。
山顶上有几家餐厅、一家礼品店,甚至还有一家酒店。我在那里待了大约一个半小时,一边喝咖啡一边欣赏美景。
那天人不多,但我猜旺季的时候可能会非常拥挤。
