The hike:
We will leave from Alpnachstad and go up for 1'700m of ascent over 9.5km to Tomlishorn.
Lunch at Tomlishorn around 1.30pm - bring your own lunch there is no restaurant there, and some snacks
After lunch, we will continue towards Pilatus Kulm, and on the descent we can go to the Esel and the Matthorn (on spurs) depending on mood and stamina.
There is an "exit way" through the Pilatus Bahn in case of you don't feel like doing the descent, or want to go back earlier.
