Pilatus, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. A favorite summertime excursion in Switzerland is a train ride that moves from the cool shores of Lake Lucerne to the airy summit of 2,100-metre-high Mount Pilatus. The trip is spectacular as the cars climb slopes as steep as 48% at times. A ride inside the conductor cab. (Raffaella Rossello, swissinfo.ch)
