Snow on Rigi & Pilatus in late December?
A traveler is planning a trip to Lucerne from December 24 to 28 and wants to visit Mount Pilatus and Rigi. They are curious about the conditions on these mountains during late December, particularly whether there will be greenery or snow as they make their ascent and descent.
- Expect snow on both Pilatus and Rigi during late December, making for a winter wonderland experience.
- The historic rack railway to Pilatus does not operate in mid-winter, so plan accordingly for transportation.
- If you're interested in year-round snow, consider visiting Titlis instead, as it's always covered in snow.
AI-generated summary-
We are planning to visit Lucerne for a few days between 24 and 28 December 2020. We intend to go up Pilatus and Rigi. We know that Pilatues is covered in snow in summer let alone in winter. But the way down (even the way up) was green in summer.
Is there greenery going up and down Pilatus?
Is Rigi green or white in late December?

Hi Mamaco,
There may be snow on PIlatus in December but definitely not in summer. Same in Rigi. I suppose you meant Titlis? There is snow on Titlis all year-round.
These mountains are all within easy reach of Lucerne. You can find more information from the following links:

I meant Pilatus as I am sure Titlis will be covered in snow. We have been to Switzerland last July and wish to come back the earliest possible.
Pilatus is not snow covered all year, only in winter.
However, one of the joys of the Pilatus is going up on the very steep, historic rack railway but that doesn’t run in mid winter.
