The Pilatus rope park offers ten different courses for climbers of all levels, with interesting obstacles and exciting zip lines and free fall jumps.

Even smaller kids can join in the fun with the PILU Rope Park, which has easier courses and an always-on safety harness.

For more fun, you can also ride the summer toboggan and forest flyer, which are both next to the ropes park. There's also a restaurant and picnic area here.

Many people combine the rope park with a visit to the Pilatus Kulm mountain viewpoint. In this case, we suggest doing the rope park first thing in the morning to avoid crowds. Then ride up to Pilatus and enjoy the activities at the top.

Open: early May through third weekend of October. See current opening times.
