Head to the Pier to board a boat for a scenic ride to the steepest cog train in the world in Alpnachstad.
From the valley station ascent with the steepest cogwheel railway in the world to the top of Mount Pilatus. During the winter you will take the cable car to get to the top as the cogwheel railways only operate from May to October, depending on snow conditions.

Short walks lead to different viewpoints and with some luck, we might spot some ibexes. Free time at disposal.
