Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Mount Pilatus is a mountain near Lucern, Switzerland.

The top can be reached with the world’s steepest cog railway from Alpnachstad, operating from May to November (depending on snow conditions), and the whole year with the aerial tramway from Kriens.

We, Hui Chin and I arrived in Paris early Friday morning to apply for our Mali Visa.
We went to to the Embassy.
Wrong place, have to go the Consulate.
At the Consulate we were told wrong day for applications, (Applications only accepted on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (9am-12 pm.)

We had two days to spare and a two months Eurail Pass.
Off to Lucern we hurried to try out the world's longest cograil railway up to Mount Pilatus.
Well, after arriving in Lucern, we bought a ticket to Mt. Pilatus.
That ticket entitled us to a boat trip from Lucern to Alpnachstad, there we caught the longest and highest cograil train in the World to Pilatus Kulm, took time out for a good, breathtaking look, caught an arial tramway or gondola down to Frakmuntegg, where we had another breathtaking look at the sorrounding Swiss Alps, and from Frakmuntegg we caught a panoramic gondola down to Kriens, a suburb of Lucerne.

Off course you can do the round anticlockwise too.
