The Roman leader, Pontius Pilate, is believed to be entombed in Lake Pilatus, while a petrified man keeps watch outside a cavern. With its incredible height of 2128 meters, the Pilate massif, casting its shadow over the entire region, undoubtedly fuels the imagination.

Not an informational tour - I love the tour and the only reason I am giving it a 4 star instead of 5 is I like hearing the history of the area or any interesting facts about where I am going or seeing. The guides were super nice and accommodating but no information except Zurich is clean etc.
