While the entire lakefront city of Lucerne is incredibly picturesque, once you reach the 7,000-foot peak of nearby Mount Pilatus, the view of 73 Alpine peaks will take your breath away. To ascend, take a scenic cruise from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and, if you’re hardy, start hiking. You can also reach the top via the world’s steepest cogwheel railway or an aerial cable car.
