Golden Round Trip, Switzerland, 11th October 2011
This is a record of one of the magnificent rail/boat journeys that are available in Switzerland. I did this trip with my wife in October 2011 and although there was snow on the top of Mount Pilatus, it was surprisingly warm. The trip can be done either way, but we decided to start in Lucerne. First there was a boat journey to Alpnachstad. Then we picked up the ride on the worlds steepest cog railway to the summit of Mount Pilatus. Then the descent on the other side of the mountain starts on the Aerial Cableway to Frakmuntegg. Then the Panoramic Gondola takes you further down the mountain to Kriens, where a short bus ride took us into the heart of Kriens. We then took a train to Hergiswil where we were staying. The day was fantastic. Thanks Philhill1955
