Willisau and its region in summer

Willisau - the hometown of the famous Willisauer "Ringlis" - is always worth being visited. It is a jewel. The charm of its picturesque Old Town, the many historical sights or the ample sports facilities make every visit to a great experience for our guests.

The medieval little town is situated at the edge of the Napf area, which is a multifaceted, richly structured and intact landscape in the heart of Switzerland. A vast but varied hiking area offers countless possibilities. From the lowlands of the Wigger valley, the dreamy little valleys and forests to the crests of the Napf area unadulterated nature can be enjoyed. Museums, historical village centres and cultural sites make an excursion worthwhile.
Willisau and its region in winter

In the cold season Willisau has to offer a lot as well, the seasonal fairs, the atmospheric Christmas market or the crazy carnival days. The cultural offerings in Willisau and in the whole region are especially ample in this season. The possibilities for sports activities are manifold, too, indoors and outdoors.

Calmness and recreation can be found, wandering on the foothills of the Napf, which are often free from fog in autumn and winter as well. Bikers like practising their demanding hobby in these seasons especially. Those who have achieved the ascension onto the car-free Napf, can`t expect a sweeping ski-run descent. But whoever has enjoyed the unique view from this summit on a sunny winter day, will return again and again.
