While Jimmy and Ashlynn went on Switzerland’s longest summer toboggan run of 4,000 feet (which they loved!), Veronica and I took the gondola on the 5-minute journey to the summit of the 7,000 foot Mt Pilatus. For 100’s of years it was rumored that Pontius Pilate haunted the mountain and it was forbidden to climb. While it’s no longer thought to be haunted, it is still cursed by thick fog which completely obscures the view. That didn’t stop us from thoroughly enjoying the return journey by the world’s steepest cog railway, which opened in 1889 with a gradient of 48%. It was quite dramatic as we broke out of the fog and saw the lovely lake below.
