Golden Round Trip Luzern questions

We will be taking the Golden Round Trip On May 4 2025. We need to purchase tickets and have some questions. The only info I can find on this site is from 9+ years ago. Hoping someone can help me with current info. Questions are as follows.

  • Where is the best place to purchase tickets? We will be doing this on a weekend so I would like to purchase ahead of time.
  • Would it be preferable to take the lake trip part on the morning trip up or in the evening return? And for what reason.
  • In the research I have done it strongly recommends booking a reservation on the cog railway to avoid waiting times. How does one know what time to book this portion of the trip?

I am very overwhelmed in trying to find the best way to achieve this trip. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA.....Lorrie

Thanks Liz. That did help somewhat. But a couple of my questions still stand, so if anyone has input on this subject, please let me know. Much appreciated!

You won't be able to do the round trip, as the raiilway is not operating currently, and will open on May 12th.

So you will go both ways via the cable car from Kriens. Just buy tickets when you are here and you know what the weather will be.
