Hint

Intro

Discover Switzerland's most spectacular lake landscape by canoe. Switzerland was born on the shores of the Vierwaldstättersee lake. Look forward to fjord-like lake basins, crystal-clear water, countless natural beaches and attractive resorts along the lake.

Description

This three section stage circles the route of the Gersauerbecken (basin) of the Vierwaldstättersee lake. The sections can be combined into an attractive, several-day canoe tour. The individual sections are ideal for varied one-day excursions. You can begin your canoe tour on any of the three sections.

The Gersauerbecken is a fjord-like glacial valley nestling in the Alps of Central Switzerland. Locations such as the Schillerstein are reminders of the history and fight for freedom by the old confederates. A hint of the charm of the blossoming Grand Hotel era of the 19th century still lives on in the history-steeped holiday resort of Brunnen. Thanks to its particularly mild climate, the vegetation in romantic Gersau is almost mediterranean. Buochs, on the southern shore of the Vierwaldstättersee lake, is a surprise with a beautiful lakeside promenade, a lido and a picture-perfect Alpine panorama.

Discover the Vierwaldstättersee lake by canoe and enjoy tranquillity and natural surroundings in the heart of Switzerland.
