Mount Pilatus

We're just getting back from a 3 day trip to Lucerne. This is a beautiful city with a lot of it's midieval charm right in the heart of Switzerland. It's surrounded by the alps and sits on a beautiful lake.

We found a sweet hotel just south of town in Alpnachstad at the foot of Mt. Pilatus. One of the few hotels we've seen in Europe where they have rooms with more than 3 beds. We got a nice 4 bed unit and breakfast was includes. What a deal. Should any of you be heading out this way it's the Rösti hotel. It's at the foot of Moutn Pilatus.


On Friday we took a Cog Rail to the top and cable cars down the other side. At a midpoint on the way down, the girls took part in some frightening tree swinging activities...It was great to see them master new climbing skills but was hard on my nerves! Saturday, Brenna and I hiked halfway up the mountain with Tigger and Telly in tow. Unfortunately they turned out to be tick magnets and we've spent the last several hours plucking them clean.



Tick Collection time...
