Fragrant Alps meadows, breathtaking views, the multifaceted lake and gorgeous mountains… this is the Lake Lucerne region. This area is very diverse and has something for everyone, be that what nature has to offer or cultural attractions. The nature here is unspoilt and overwhelming; the green of the meadows and trees, white mountaintops and the many colours of the lake make it a new and fascinating experience every time. There are various mountains here, including the Pilatus (2130 m) and the Rigi (1800 m). You can take a funicular (railway) or cable car to the top. At the top of the mountain you’ll be able to enjoy an incredible view of the lakes and mountaintops. Enjoy a nice cup of coffee or a Swiss liqueur such as the Pfümli on one of the mountain terraces. The more active holiday maker will find much to their liking in the Lake Lucerne area. Mountain climbing is an exciting challenge, the routes to the top are beautiful and, once you are at the top, you’ll know it was all worth the trouble to get there. In good weather you can look around and see all the lakes and picturesque towns. You can also get up to a lot on the lake itself, going canoeing or making a boat trip. The city of Lucerne, the capital city of this area, has a lively atmosphere and offers a great view of the Lake Lucerne, also called ‘the lake with the smile’. The traffic museum is recommended for both children and adults. The famous Chapel Bridge is the symbol of the city. Although Switzerland is not cheap, it can be a nice shopping experience. The shops invite you to come in and browse; you’ll find the Swiss to be a friendly people. Perhaps you can find a nice clock or wood carving!
