Descrizione dell'itinerario
I started the trekking in the public parking that exists at the foot of the cable car station in Kriens, small village next to Lucern.
My initial idea was to climb the whole mountain, hiking to the summit. But this was not possible because of the weather. It was December and unfortunately there was a lot of snow, and the final part of the trail, after the Frakmunksegg station, was closed. Then, the last few meters I was forced to do using the cable car.
Anyway, it was an amazing hiking, of infinite beauty.

Pilatus (also often referred to Mount Pilatus) is a mountain massif overlooking Lucerne in Central Switzerland. It is composed of several peaks, of which the highest (2,128 m (6,982 ft)) is named Tomlishorn and is located about 1.3 km (0.81 mi) to the southeast of the top cable car and cog railway station. The two peaks right next to the stations are called Esel (Donkey, 2,118 m (6,949 ft)), which lies just east over the railway station, the one on the west side is called Oberhaupt (Head-Leader, 2,105 m (6,906 ft)). Jurisdiction over the massif is divided between the cantons of Obwalden (OW), Nidwalden (NW), and Lucerne (LU). The main peaks are right on the border between Obwalden and Nidwalden.
