Highlights of Central Switzerland (2 days / 1 night)

Day 1: Pilatus
Set out on a scenic coach journey through stunning countryside and along the shores of Lake Lucerne to the charming town of Lucerne. Let your guide show you the main sights on a brief introductory drive past the famous Chapel Bridge, the Jesuit Church and the Culture and Convention Centre (KKL). Enjoy time at leisure to explore the Old Town before the journey continues to Kriens. Board the aerial cable car to Fräkmüntegg, where you change to the Dragon Ride cable car for jaw dropping views. Venture down the Dragon Trail or opt for a short hike to the summit (weather and season permitting). Relax on the panorama terrace and admire magnificent views over the surrounding peaks of the Swiss Alps and the blue lakes in the valleys below. Descend on the world's steepest cogwheel railway (48% gradient) down to Alpnachstad and board a public boat for a lovely 1-hour cruise on beautiful Lake Lucerne to admire the spectacular landscape from an entirely different angle. Once back to Lucerne, check in at your hotel and enjoy the evening in the charming old town.

Day 2: Titlis
After breakfast, check out of your room and enjoy the morning at leisure. After noon, meet today's tour guide for the excursion to Mt Titlis and relax on a leisurely coach ride to Engelberg. Enjoy spectacular sights of the glacier's deep crevasses and gigantic ice boulders on a breathtaking journey with the revolving Rotair cable car. At the top of Mt Titlis at 3,000 m a.s.l., a high alpine world of snow and ice awaits you all year round. Enjoy a magnificent view of the Swiss Alps from the panoramic terrace, visit the Glacier Cave and venture across Europe’s highest suspension bridge! Take a ride with the Ice Flyer chair lift down to the Glacier Park and try snow tubing for the first time! Descend to Engelberg by aerial cable cars and drive back by coach via Lucerne to Zurich in the evening.
