Discover the region like the locals

Local insider tips

A world of undiscovered treasures awaits around Lake Lucerne. Paddle to remote bays by canoe, enjoy the unique view of the city from a pedalo or explore the charming villages along the shore. Explore the region like it's your own home – intimate, authentic and packed with charm. 

 

I'm looking for authentic experiences and want to immerse myself in the ‘real’ life of the locals. I'm particularly drawn to the lakes in the Lake Lucerne region.
Theresa, discovering the local culture on her second visit to Lucerne
