An uncomplicated — maybe a bit too short — trail loop from Alpnachstad (train station) to Pilatus. The ascent is really pretty with nice scenery, and the way down is easy to run and peaceful. The summit, as well as the train ride, is absolutely packed with tourists and therefore not that lovely. Probably better to go there during weekdays.
