Pilatus

It is time for a few pictures of one of my latest hikes, going up Mount Pilatus (2128 m).

The Pilatus is a beautiful mountain, of which the summit can be reached by the world’s steepest cogwheel railway (or a cable car).

Views towards the valley are amazing.

The train can be seen from many places. Its maximum declivity is of 48%

When in sight of the summit...

... there was a small group of ibex grazing peacefully.

All along the way, there were many beautiful alpine flowers to be seen.

Finally, after having reached the summit, there was a great view towards Lucerne, the city being at the foot of the mountain.
