Waterfalls, Mountains, Lakes

Lucerne

The day our leader broke the rules
... were reminded of this every once and awhile as a car would come up behind us and we parted to create a path. Lucerne does have sidewalks, but we preferred the sprawl out across the street approach. As we approached our drop off point, eyes began ...
Mount Pilates
This mountain located just on the outskirts of Lake Lucerne, although 3,000 feet elevation lower than Mount Titlus (the galcier), has the most beautiful scenery we seen. The Gondolas go in 3 stages from town to the top, as the distance is quite long ...
Lake Placid
... for a forty minute journey into Lucerne, the nearest large town and what some Swiss like to think of as the 'heart' of Switzerland. It was a very picturesque boat trip across the huge flat lake surrounded by mountains, some of them snow-capped. There was ...

First day of our holidays, Pilatus?

...wohin, wie lange und überhaupt... Wohin die grosse Reise gehen sollte, wusste ich zu Beginn noch nicht sooo genau. Ich hatte ein paar Ideen, aber generell war ich recht offen, da ich auch noch nicht so viel gesehen bzw. bereist hatte. Nordamerika und ...

We were allowed a bit of a sleep in this morning, we left the hotel and caught a tram to the bottom of Mount Pilatus,then a slight walk up to the entrance to the gondola up the mountain in the freezing cold. We were excited about getting into a gondola ...
Lucerne
20 May 2007 Reached Lucern early and dropped my luggage in the locker. Took the train to Linde-Pilatus. The cable car ride up to Mt Pilatus was not bad. The view from the top could be better if the mountains can be seen clearly. But the trip down the ...
