Hiking

The Ämsingen intermediate station offers the opportunity to get off and climb the last part of the Pilatus on foot. But if you want to experience the most breathtaking section of the cog railway, you should stay on the train, because only after that comes the tracks that appear to be glued to the steep face on a narrow ridge and the tour through smaller tunnels. It is the section on the donkey wall that should not be missed!

Hiking

Adults simply travel down to Alpnachstad (approx. 25 CHF - as of 2017).
Boarding possible if space is available.

Hiking

The only stop on the cog railway. From here it is a good 3.5 km walk to the summit of Pilatus.
