Lake & mountains

The Mountains.

Lucerne and the mountains - they belong together. The city is surrounded by mighty mountain ranges and mostly snow-covered peaks. A paradise for hikers, snow sports fans and nature lovers is right on the doorstep. Within 30 minutes by public transport, you can reach three mountains with stunning views and plenty of adventure. Let yourself be enchanted by the calming power of the mountains of Central Switzerland.

 

Pilatus

The dragon mountain on Lucerne's doorstep

Escape the city and head up to Pilatus Kulm at an altitude of 2'132 m on the world’s steepest cogwheel railway. The arrival by boat or by train and cogwheel railway alone is enough to put you in a holiday mood. You will be amazed by the magnificent panoramic views of the Lucerne-Lake Lucerne Region.

 

Rigi

Queen of the mountains

Take a ride on Europe’s oldest mountain railway on your next day trip to the Rigi. The ride and views of Lake Lucerne are stunning.

 

Bürgenstock

The wellness oasis with a view

Perched on a wooded rocky spur 500 metres above Lake Lucerne, the Bürgenstock Resort offers wonderful views of the surrounding mountains, such as the Rigi and Pilatus.

 

The Lake.

Five paddle steamers, twelve motor vessels, a panoramic yacht, the new Diamant motor vessel and the new Bürgenstock shuttle take visitors around Lake Lucerne throughout the year and in all weathers. All services offer excellent connections with the surrounding mountain railways and cableways.
