Fräkmüntenegg-Pilatus

Nathalie with Indira + Katharina with Bajar (from 10.11.21):

If you are looking for something more challenging, this is the right place.

We take the small gondolas up to the station Fräkmüntenegg. From here we start our tour ( T3 ) towards Pilatus. Up to Ober Lauelen the path is still rather easy and thanks to the mild temperatures even the small snowfields and icy spots are easy to pass. From Ober Lauelen to Klimsenkappele the path is narrow, mostly steep and zig-zags. The steeper passages are equipped with chains, which make the ascent a little easier. Good surefootedness and a head for heights are required. The panorama all around is fantastic and worth the effort. At the top of the Klimsenkappele we take a short break and enjoy the magnificent view of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains. After our breather we tackle the last ascent towards the top station. As there is already snow in places, we need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights. Once at the top, we take refreshments before taking the cog railway and the gondola back down to Kriens. The route is not recommended for inexperienced hikers and in snowy conditions.
