Bürgenberg – a mountain to fall in love with

Famous throughout the world, the highest point of the Bürgenberg is the Hammetschwand, which is also the highest point of the City of Lucerne. A pleasant stroll takes you along the Rock-face Path to the Hammetschwand Lift, which whisks you up to the mountain restaurant at alt. 1132 m – a great place for a hearty breakfast accompanied by a spectacular panorama.

Take the vintage Bürgenstock funicular railway down to Kehrsiten for the lake crossing to Vitznau and its half-hour rack railway journey (Europe's oldest) up the "Queen of the Mountains", Mount Rigi. The return journey can be made via Weggis and the aerial cable car.

You can also take the Bürgenstock funicular railway, then the boat to Alpnachstad where the world's steepest rack railway will bring you up Mount Pilatus whilst you enjoy the breathtaking views. On the way back you can visit Lucerne before returning by boat to the Bürgenstock Resort®.

The Bürgenstock funicular railway and the vintage steamers of Lake Lucerne will also get you to Lucerne, which has so much more to offer than just the Chapel Bridge. Stroll through the charming narrow streets of the medieval Old Town overlooked by its historic towers.

Lucerne also has a number of fascinating museums: the Swiss Transport Museum featuring Switzerland’s first IMAX cinema, the Rosengart Foundation Museum and the Richard Wagner House with its beautiful lakeside setting. Neighbouring Stans also has a cultural treasure in the form of the new Frey-Näpflin Foundation museum. Amusing, exhilarating or historically interesting: discover Lucerne and the Lake Lucerne Region.
