Experiences along the Grand Tour in Lucerne – Lake Lucerne

With breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, the Rigi offers a first-class mountain experience whatever the season. The cog railways from Goldau and Vitznau, as well as the cable car from Weggis, enable a variety of round trips, which can also be combined with a boat trip on Lake Lucerne.

Zofingen was turned into market and administrative center as far back as the Middle Ages.

The village centre of Escholzmatt has been accepted onto the list of placescapes in Switzerland that are worthy of protection.

Mooraculum on the Rossweid in Sörenberg is a place where families with children will find everything they could ever want: ponds with water play equipment, an explorer pass with associated tasks, climbing activities, suspended chairs and picnic areas. The focus is on the mystical moor landscapes. Visitors of all ages will learn how a moor is formed, get to know the moorland inhabitants and, above all, will be encouraged to experience the moor with all of their senses.

At 100 metres long and one metre wide, the “Titlis Cliff Walk” suspension bridge stretches spectacularly from one rock face to the other.

The Alpine Cheese Trail links seven alp dairies on an attractive hiking route through Engelberg’s diverse countryside. On the Alps, you’ll discover the appeal of the traditional alpine cheese and learn all about how difficult life can be on the summer grazing pastures.

Dreilindenpark – colloquially also known as “Konsipark” – is not only the largest public park in the city of Lucerne, offering breathtaking views, but also a place of culture. Originally the home of the Lucerne School of Music, this is where works of fine art are to be put on display in the future.

Enjoy winter with us at “TITLIS Snow Experience” Do your first steps on skis at our snow experience park. Combine your snow experience with an e-snowmobile ride and snowtubing.

On hot summer days, you can get a real South Pacific feeling in sleepy Flüelen: that’s the best time to visit the “Lorelei” bathing islands on Lake Uri.

Enjoy a culinary experience consisting of team spirit, fun and sightseeing!

Take a tour with two experts who know the local gastro scene intimately, and enjoy each course on the menu in a different restaurant.

The Lucerne hotel icon, modelled after Neuschwanstein Castle, was built by Emil Vogt in 1888 in one of Switzerland’s finest hotel locations. Martyn Lawrence Bullard, a world-renown interior designer, has revived the historic charm of Château Gütsch, putting great emphasis on small details – from the stuccoed ceiling to the hand-painted wood panelling. Just as in years past, the view from the rooftops of the old town over Lake Lucerne and the mountains is still spectacular.

High above Lake Lucerne, in Morschach, lies the Swiss Holiday Park. The largest holidays and leisure resort in Switzerland leaves nothing to be desired with its huge range of offers.

100 kilometres of Alpine peaks, 10 lakes: the view from CabriO, the world’s first convertible-style cable car with a roofless upper deck, is as fascinating as unique. It is, however, not the first innovation on Stanserhorn – the funicular already featured a novelty in 1893, as that was the first time clasp brakes were used. A ranger welcomes the visitors at the Stanserhorn summit to show them where the most beautiful flowers bloom and the marmots live. The revolving restaurant Rondorama is a further acme.

Beautifully energising! Energy Adventure Entlebuch is an extraordinary themed trail. At its heart is the path that links the adventure park’s six separate energy platforms.

Hospental, the last village before heading south over the Gotthard Pass, enjoyed great prominence during the days of the muleteers. The tower once occupied by the lords of Hospental dominates the whole of Hospental. Because of its elevated position, the tower is clearly visible from many directions and thus shapes the landscape of the Ursern Valley. The tower is open to the public. Based on the dating of timbers used in the walls, it is assumed the tower was constructed in the 13th century.

The only 'mobile photo spot' on the Grand Tour of Switzerland. In 1928, Alois Waser-Bucher, an entrepreneur from Nidwald, took interest in the Beckenried–Gersau car ferry project and, subsequently, had a ferry constructed in Uerikon on Lake Zurich in 1929. On Whit Sunday 1930, the ferry service was opened with the motor vessel ‘Tellsprung’ (‘Tell’s Leap’) carrying 20 cars. In 1959, a local hotelier bought the ferry and had it extensively rebuilt by Bodan Wharf on Lake Constance. The new ferry, which can carry up to 45 cars, started its service on Whit Saturday 1964, and has been owned by the F&R Group Beckenried since 2016.

The great thing about this route is that it is almost entirely downhill – and takes in the wonderful natural variety of Eastern Switzerland…

A truly spectacular route in the granite rocks of the Schöllenen gorge, albeit with plenty of grass in between. There are fascinating views down into the wild gorge and its roads.

On Central Switzerland’s mountain terrain, the oldest in the world, the landscape literally lies at your feet. Lucerne’s Glacier Garden allows you to glimpse through a window into the history of the Earth. In the rocky underworld, you can embark on a journey through time and discover amazing things about stone and history. The garden also has a museum and a maze of mirrors to explore.

The 152.8 meter-high lift to the Bürgenstock looks like a heaven-bound rocket. And views from Hammetschwand over Lucerne and its lake are best described as heavenly!
