All hikes in Lucerne – Lake Lucerne

The Seebodenalp is one of the most beautiful vantage terraces in the Swiss Alpine foothills. It can be enjoyed at leisure, because it’s close to the Rigi Staffel. From Staffel to Kulm you can enjoy the company of rail travellers.

A delightfully scenic stage in the heart of the Zug region. Over upland moors, past countless cherry trees (Zuger kirsch cake!), the vantage point at the Brunegg Alp restaurant and the pretty St. Verena Chapel, to the town of Zug.

Mount Bürgenstock is more than a mountain – it’s a legend. Its cliff path, built between 1900 and 1905, is also legendary. Both the path and the spectacular Hammetschwand Elevator lead you up to Hammetschwand, the highest point of the city of Lucerne.

A short but perspiration-producing stage. Interesting departure and destination points and thought-provoking engravings on stones along the way, transforming the steep climb into a path of contemplation.

After a demanding climb, the Hochstuckli is worth a detour. Panoramic views of the Mythen and Canton Schwyz. Then a gentle descent to Haggenegg, where the Schwyzer Höhenweg (high-level trail) and the Jakobsweg (Route of St. James) cross paths.

The hike from Siebnen to St. Meinrad is uphill. But efforts are rewarded and not only with views of the Obersee. The St. Meinrad Chapel and Inn both make an impression with their long history and stunning location on the Etzelpass.

This trail leads past 17 churches and chapels. These witnesses of the past are strung along the ancient Lucerne - Aarburg route. The openness and breadth of the hilly landscape of Canton Lucerne with Mts. Pilatus, Napf and Menzberg radiates welcome.

Before the opening of the Axenstrasse road in 1865, the main route was by lake. The trip by steamship still remains an exceptional experience. From the jetty at Flüelen, you hike into the cantonal capital of Altdorf.

The route features seven distinctive peaks in Central Switzerland, a ridgeway with impressive views of the Alps, lakes and valleys. It can be varied according to capability and time.

Stroll with views of the Alps - from Küssnacht through the nature reserves in Wagenmoos, along the lakeshore at Meggen and Meggehorn castle. Approach to the city of Lucerne and arrival along the 19th-century tourism alley, its quay with distant views of the Alps.

Following the first ascent after Stans, impressive views open up to Stanser Boden, the Vierwaldstättersee and the Innerschweiz mountain peaks. Highpoint at the end of the section is the hermitage of Niklaus von Flüe and the Ranft chapels.

Superb views of Luzern and its outlying districts from Sonnenberg. Then the Ränggschlucht gorge offers an insight into the geology of the region. The last section to Malters lets you follow in the footsteps of St. James.

The trail leads along Riviera-like lakeside between Flüelen and Sisikon, passing the Tellskapelle (William Tell Chapel) and Tellsplatte. The ascent from Sisikon is rough but rewarded by panoramic views. An aqua park beckons in Morschach.

This route leads you through the beautiful and open Unterägeri plain. This path through the verdant landscape with magnificent views of the Zug Oberland mountains and Ägerisee lake is a true delight.

Brother Klaus Way leads from Stans to Flüeli Ranft. This is the path Heimo Amgrund followed on the night of December 21, 1481. He was seeking the advice of Brother Klaus, who helped bring peace to the region.

The high Biber valley, the plain between Rothenthurm and Biberbrugg, ranks as an especially beautiful moorland area of national importance. The well-signed moorland path passes through this unique protected moorland (a model for moor conservation in Switzerland).

Hike from the delightful shores of the Vierwaldstättersee up to the mountain valley of Engelberg. On the way, several cultural historic sites, such as the centre of Stans, the monastery retreat of Grafenort and Engelberg monastery.

A tough climb to Stöcklichrüz and a superb high-level hike around the northern end of Sihlsee lake to Einsiedeln. The St. Meinrads Chapel on Etzelpass and the house where Paracelsus was born are popular resting places, not just for pilgrims.

Peaceful paths run through typical Mittelland surroundings. The high point is the Santenberg, from which you have views over the Wauwilermoos plain and the entire northern foreland of the city of Luzern. The stage destination is Sursee on the Sempachersee lake.

Many spots with views of the Urnersee lake in all its splendour. Interesting and impressive houses between Seelisberg and Bauen as well as at Seedorf. Plenty of places for refreshment and playgrounds en route.

The varied pre-Alpine tour leads from the famous monastery town of Einsiedeln along an old pilgrims’ path over the Chatzenstrick to the almost as famous upland moors of Rothenthurm, then on over the Raten (views!) to the tranquil Aegerisee lake in the Zug region.
