PILU®-Land
PILU®-Land is where the friendly Pilatus-Bahnen dragon lives. It's divided into three thematic zones: Dragon Castle, Dragon Forest, and Dragon Land. Built using unsprayed timber from false acacia trees, the individual play elements have, to a large extent, been left as they were found.
That, and the fact that the playground has been sensitively designed, means that PILU®-Land benefits from an appearance that is both natural and appealing. Tables, benches, shade-giving trees and a generously proportioned barbeque area help create an inviting atmosphere. It's a place where grown-ups and children can kick back and relax, chat and generally pass the time of day.
The PILU®-Land adventure playground on the Krienseregg is yet another attraction initiated by Pilatus-Bahnen – and it's free! Thanks to the thought which has been put into its child-friendly design and construction, PILU®-Land makes a great day out for kindergartens and school classes.

PILU® – the friendly fire-red Pilatus-Bahnen dragon
Who said he was cuddly? Snort!!! – Now, now, PILU! Behave yourself! Luckily, you're not too big and frightening like your forefathers in the Pilatus myths. You let the mountain choughs up on Pilatus-Kulm do the flying – they can do it much better. As for breathing fire ¬– you only do that when you get a sore throat in winter. Remember last time it happened? You gave yourself such a fright that you almost fell backwards into your Dragon Moor pool!
No, PILU® has a much better job to do: he's the friendly Pilatus-Bahnen ambassador. He's just as red as his great-great-great-great-great grandfather featured on the Pilatus trademark. But he's much more helpful and heaps more fun! That's why you see him anywhere there's something to discover on and around the Pilatus. You can even take our mascot home with you, where you can dream of your next trip back to the wonderful natural scenery that's so typical of the Pilatus …
