The Pilatus massif is Lucerne's local mountain, but it is not entirely in the canton of Lucerne, but on the border between the cantons of Lucerne, Obwalden and Nidwalden. Its highest peak, the Tomlishorn ( 2128 m above sea level ), lies on the border between the cantons of Obwalden and Nidwalden, the second highest peak Esel ( 2118 m above sea level ) in the canton of Obwalden. Only the Widderfeld ( 2075 m above sea level ), a third peak of the Pilatus massif , borders the canton of Lucerne.
