Mt Pilatus

On our way to Mt Titlis, our guide is telling us about this mountain. I was actually planning to take this Mt Pilatus tour but in the end I decided to choose the Mt. Titlis which did not disappoint me. Anyway, I took this picture while our bus is in motion and I just do not want to lose the opportunity of seeing this from afar. This is along the Lake Lucerne.

On some of the travel sites I have found this piece of information.


"Switzerland is home to of some of the most majestic mountains in the world. While its peaks might be only of equal height or maybe even less than many of the Rockies, Andes or Himalayan counterparts, they offer the illusion of being taller since they come up from a lower base elevation. But they also seem more inviting with the lush greenery, dotted mountain homes and patchwork pastures going all the way up to the tree line and beyond. Many times the trains travel along the bottom of the valleys and gorges and stop periodically at little towns nested in the cradle of the mountains. But those higher communities, while they might have hidden road access, are often reached simply by cable cars, cog wheel trains or gondolas; all of which are integrated into the mass transit system and depart from the lower valley stops."
