THE HIGH MARKET IN SWITZERLAND

In addition to the highest trains in Europe, Switzerland also has the highest market on the continent, with a height of more than 2,000 meters. You should travel to Mount Pilatelocated in the city of Lucerne, to get to know it.

To get to the market you’ll have to take the occasional cable car, and even a boat, but the trek up the snowy mountains will be worth it. Once here, you can see the world at your feet: the Swiss Alps and the lakes. And, of course, a small elevated market with about 40 stalls selling local handicrafts. You can finish the visit at the restaurants Pilatus Kulm. It will be open Friday and Saturday. Check the weather forecast and get your tickets at this link.
