    Did the course in reverse. A better alternative to the route going straight up Pilatus (less crowded, less rocky & smooth trail). Very hot day. It took me 3 hours.

    Tolle Tour für einen Tagesausflug! - Achtung >10km auf Bergstraße… dauert etwas als ungeübter bergfahrer… oben gibt es dann ein paar Parkplätze beim Luedolsmatt. Man kann auch noch etwas weiter hochfahren um dort zu parken. Parken ist gestattet auf dem Weideland( eigene gefahr) Tolle Aussicht sobald man über dem Wald ist! Nach dem Gipfel, kommt die Tripolihütte… an Sonntagen manchmal freiwillig/auf Kaffee kasse bewirtschaftet… suppe, und Getränke von den Wirten als Geste… Am Luetoldmatt selber ist ne bewirtschaftet huette

    Nette Strecke, die ziemlich gut ausgebaut ist (teilweise leider sogar geteert). Wunderschöne Aussichten in alle Richtungen rund um den Pilatus und das Tomlishorn. Unterwegs gibt es viele Bänke, die zum Verweilen und Genießen einladen.

    Entlang am Alpnachsee und durch das schöne Dörfchen Stansstadt (Mitagessen und Badepause hier empfehlenswert), bevor es steil nach oben zum Bürgenstock Resort (absolute top Empfehlung zur Übernachten, wenn auch nicht günstig) geht.

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Wanderung. Die Aussicht auf den Vierwaldstättersee und die Berge ist atemberaubend. Mit Glück haben wir nur einige Meter von uns entfernt Steinböcke gesehen. Trittsicherheit ist erforderlich. Wir können die Wanderung sehr empfehlen!
