Hi we are a group of 5 adults and we are planning to spend two days in Lucerne November 1st to 2nd of November 2017. We are wondering if the Lake Lucerne cruise will still be operating during these two days and if there are any tours that covers both Mount Pilatus and Lake Lucerne on the 2nd of November2017. We look forward to any advice. Thank you
best regards
KJ

Hello KJ and Welcome to the MySwissAlps Forum,
The number of lake ferries is reduced during winter. You’ll find the timetable here http://www.lakelucerne.ch/fil eadmin/lakelucerne/con tent/Dokumente_Downloa ds_PDF/01_Fahrplan-Preise/01_Fahrplan/Sai sonaler_Fahrplan/2017/ 2017_Fahrplan_Winter_B B.pdf
You can take a ferry from Luzern to Alpnachstad and from there ascend to top of Mt Pilatus via cog-wheel railway. The cable car from Pilatus down to Kriens (suburb of Luzern) is closed at that time. See http://www.myswissalps.com/pi latus/gettingthere
Thank you for your kind advice. Will take a look at the links and plan accordingly. Thanks again!
Hi can anyone advice me if it is worth getting a tell pass or should i be buying point to point ticket. As I am only in lucerne for 2 days before travelling to Paris I am trying to find the most cost efficient way to move around.
My itinerary so far will be as follows 31st of October:
to visit lowendenkmal, chapel bridge, old town, spreuer bridge.
I am staying around bundesplatz.And the second day I am planning to see lake lucerne and mount pilatus. As i understand the cable car is under maintenance on the 1st of November, I am planning to take the boat to alphachstad then train or bus back to lucerne town.
Please kindly advice whether it is more worthwhile to get a point to point ticket or a pass for the anove itinerary. Thank you!
Hi khingjim,
You don’t say how you are arriving in Lucerne or getting to Paris. If you have other train travel in Switzerland a pass may be beneficial but if your only train/lake travel is the trip to Mt Pilatus then I would think point to point will be cheaper. This http://www.myswitzerland.com/ en-us/bourbaki-panorama-luzern-luzern.html is close to the Lion Monument and Glacier Gardens which are also worth a look.
Keep your options open for which day you visit Pilatus depending on weather conditions at the time.
Yes, I would agree that if the Mt. Pilatus trip is the only trip by train/boat etc. then point to point tickets would be better.
If you are spending more time traveling around Switzerland before Luzern a rail pass may be of use.
