May 18, 2023,Pilatus descent

Up to the summit in the cable car & gondola. Cloud cleared as we arrived at the top to reveal majestic mountains. Pilatus stands at 7000ft / 2132m & you get a view right across to the Jungfrau, Moench & the Eiger. Finally got one summit path cleared of snow & we were able to get up to the summit …
