Mount Pilatus - Time for some Atmospheric ride

Your trip to Mount Pilatus would be fantastic for sure and it is definitely one of the top things to do in Switzerland! What to know why? For starters, the weather would be a blend of little sunshine and some good amount of snow. To soar up the mountains you can either take the cable car or a gondola ride. Once you reach the top of the mountain, build some snowmen or do the butterfly impression on the snowy grounds maybe? We'd advise you to get some warm clothing, as the Pilatus region might get a bit cold towards the evening and extra bottles of water to keep yourself hydrated when you are at the higher altitudes would also help.
