A fascinating location where one can almost touch the skies!

The resort is the perfect place for outdoor leisure and sports. If you choose to relax by the pool, there are two; one indoor and one outdoor. Both can be heated (depending on the season). The indoor pool is enclosed by glass walls that will provide guests with an amazing view of Lake Lucerne.

Day 6 – Saturday, August 2: Stans

Pilatus-Kulm is located 9 miles south of Lucerne. Its German name derives from an old legend: During medieval times, it's said, the city fathers of Lucerne banned travel up the mountain because they thought that its slopes were haunted by the ghost of Pontius Pilate; they feared that Pilate would be angered by intrusive visitors and cause violent storms. For many years after the ban was finally lifted, only a few souls were brave enough to climb the mountain. Queen Victoria made the trip in 1868. Today the ascent to Pilatus is one of the most popular excursions in Switzerland.

This morning, we will take the cog railway -- the world's steepest which runs at a 48% gradient – which operates between Alpnachstad, at the edge of the lake, and the very top of Mount Pilatus. Enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne and the mountains around it. Pilatus has the longest summer toboggan track in Switzerland (0.88 miles or 1,350 m) and the biggest suspension rope park in Central Switzerland.

For the descent from Mount Pilatus, we will take a pair of cable cars -- first a large cabin-style téléphérique, then a small gondola.
