In the morning we traveled to the Swiss village, Kriens, to begin our mountain adventure. We started by riding up in small gondolas that held four people each. Then we transferred to a large gondola, that held over 30, to the top of Mt. Pilatus. The trip took about 30 minutes. At the top, the visitors center was spacious with lots of windows. Unfortunately the view was fog. Because of the clouds, the spectacular view was hidden. We weathered 166 snowy, blustery, frigid, steep (and safe) steps to the summit. Back at the visitors center, an Alp horn player gave great Swiss entertainment and a photo op. He yodeled and played "Amazing Grace". At the end of this trip, despite the weather, everyone agreed it was an exciting experience.
AT THE SUMMIT!
