What an exhilarating experience! Reminds one to never grow up, but to always laugh and scream with joy. The longest track in Switzerland -- 4646 feet long.

Top of Mt. Pilatus
On its peak, Mt. Pilatus hosts a renovated hotel which was renovated in 2010, Hotel Bellevue. As you can see, the views from the summit are breathtaking.
Lake Lucerne
We took a ferry ride for approximately one hour to the base of Mt. Pilatus where we rode on the steepest cog railway in the world to the top. The railway travels from the lake to 6801 feet with some grades of 48%!
Jesuit Church Lucerne
Built in 1534, this lovely Jesuit church sits on the edge of the river in Lucerne. Most of the marble in the Church is faux, but the technique for making this fake marble has been lost and, therefore, cannot be recreated.
