Pilatus Kulm

Date: June 28, 2014

Location: Lucerne (Luzern), Switzerland

This wasn't really much of a hike except for some minor walking around in the summit. We took the cog railway up and the cable car down. The view from Pilatus is stunning if the weather is clear. we were lucky to have a patch of clear weather on ascent before it turned for the worse with visibility becoming really poor.
