• 5Incredible experience- you MUST do it!

  This was an incredible experience! The views from the summit were breathtaking and the journey there was super fun. We loved the cogwheel back down to the train station and easily returned to Lucern with no complications. I HIGHLY recommend this experience 🏔️

• 4Beautiful day on the mountain, but no clear instructions on getting there

  Although a lovely visit to the mountain, the instructions on getting there are confusing. No clear signs on where to go. Expensive, but definitely worth visiting. Do the Toboggan ride as well!

• 5Worked great!

  Everything went according to plan. We went train, cogwheel, cable car, gondola the bus. A little hard to find number 1 bus back to Lucerne. Signs are small and limited but we found it.

About Lucerne

Lucerne is a compact Swiss lake city with a covered wooden bridge, a medieval wall and a ring of mountains, in the heart of Switzerland.

Lucerne sits at the northern end of Lake Lucerne, where the Reuss River flows out under two old wooden bridges. The Chapel Bridge, with its stone water tower and painted roof panels, dates from the fourteenth century, although it was partly rebuilt after a fire in 1993. The old town has painted house fronts, squares and the twin-spired Jesuit church, and the Museggmauer, a wall with nine towers, closes it to the north.
