Multi-day hike from Pilatus Kulm via the Mittaggüpfi to Sörenberg

The approach to the Pilatus itself is spectacular: boat from Lucerne to Alpnachstad, followed by a trip on the world's steepest cog railway to Pilatus Kulm. The initial leg of this three-day hike heads for the Mittagsgüpfi. Much of the white-red waymarked route consists of ridge walking offering views from the Swiss Central Plateau over the Jura to the Bernese Alps. The varied hike also passes rugged cliffs, boggy plateaus and evergreen valleys. Look out for the colonies of ibex between the Tomlishorn and Widderfeld and near the Stäfeliflue and enjoy refreshing moments beside the river in the Schlieren valley. Challenging sections are equipped with chains.
