Travelling with Your Dog in Lucerne — Transport & Mobility

Verkehrsbetriebe Luzern runs 23 daytime bus and trolleybus lines covering the entire city and inner agglomeration. Small dogs in a carrier ride free; larger dogs need a half-fare ticket or a CHF 25 day pass.

Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees operates the historic paddle steamers and modern motor vessels that crisscross Lake Lucerne. Dogs are welcome on every vessel, on every deck, with a half-fare ticket or a Swiss Travel Pass.

Two of Switzerland's flagship cogwheel mountain railways climb directly from Lucerne. Pilatus has the steepest cogwheel railway in the world (48% gradient); Rigi is the original Queen of the Mountains. Both accept leashed, well-behaved dogs.
