Your highlights for the last night of the year
Turn the start of the New Year into a culinary highlight. At the Olivo Restaurant, you can enjoy a festive dinner with Mediterranean sophistication and a fantastic view of Lake Lucerne. Savour your meal in a stylish atmosphere and watch the fireworks exclusively from our balcony.
At Brasserie VICO, you can enjoy a three-course menu with champagne before or after the New Year's fireworks. Spend the evening at Lucerne's lifestyle brasserie and reserve your table now.
If you would like to enjoy the fireworks in a more private setting, we recommend a visit to the VILLA Schweizerhof. Treat yourself to a four-course meal in this gourmet oasis on Lake Lucerne and enjoy the best view of the New Year's fireworks over the Lucerne lake basin.
Enjoy a private fondue experience with rooftop views of the New Year's Eve fireworks: unlimited drinks + snacks + 2-course cheese fondue. Or experience the magic of New Year's Eve with a cosy fondue chinoise in our living room.
The best view of the New Year's magic can be enjoyed at the LUZ Seebistro. Warming dishes such as soup and tarte flambée are served.
Cosy get-togethers with fine Swiss classics. At Wirtshaus Taube, Lucerne and Swiss dishes are freshly prepared according to old original recipes.
Start the new year with delicious swiss Älplermagronen on Lake Lucerne. Afterwards, marvel at a spectacular firework display directly from the boat.
Start the new year in style at the Ampersand Grill Restaurant. Celebrate the start of the year with a complimentary glass of Spumante Péricoloso.
The Chärnsmatt inn and play paradise in Rothenburg is perfect for a family outing. The bus takes you from the hotel to the centre of Lucerne in just 15 minutes free of charge.
As usual, musical accompaniment can be heard around Lake Lucerne, with Radio Pilatus providing a uniform music programme to accompany the fireworks. You can easily follow the soundtrack via Radio Pilatus' live programme – whether at home, in the car or on the go. At Europaplatz, where Lucerne's Ice Magic is part of the New Year's magic, the right music ensures that you can experience the fireworks in an atmospheric way from all perspectives.
