    Hello Jmumark83,

    If you set off early from Lucerne, I think it would make for a great day out. So yes, doable.

    The train ride is around 1hr 30-40 minutes to the Stoos funicular from Lucerne. You can plan your journey via the SBB timetable:

    Do check the weather forecast beforehand in case the weather is forecast to turn.
