Lucerne Day Trips

We are planning on taking two day trips while staying in Lucerne: Mt. Pilatus and Fortress Furigen. I'm wondering how much time each of these typically take to see and explore. We are not planning on doing both of them on the same day and will be at Fortress Furigen on a weekend.

Thanks! Ashley

For Pilatus, you can do a round trip. Out by boat to the far side of the mountain, up by rack railway. Then down the other side by cable car to Luzern.
The details on the official website are here: https://www.pilatus.ch/entdecken/goldene-rundfahrt/
The timetable is here: https://www.pilatus.ch/informieren/bergbahnen-fahrplan/
There doesn't appear to be an English version of these pages, German only.

I hadn't heard of Fürigen, but I found their website here: http://www.nidwaldner-museum.ch/festung-fuerigen
