Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Lake cruise on the beautiful Lake Lucerne. Experience this exceptionally beautiful Alpine lake from a new perspective. Wonderful view of Pilatus, Rigi, Bürgenstock and many other beautiful mountains in the Alpine foothills and Alps.

Stop 2 Pass by

The city of Lucerne is beautiful from almost every perspective. But a boat trip from Lucerne is another completely extraordinary experience. Enjoy the journey past the Grand Hotels, which are over a century old. The view of the KKL built by star architect Jean Nouvel or the encounter with majestic paddle steamers.

Stop 3 Pass by

This mountain is iconic. And always with a view of Lake Lucerne. Whether illuminated by the morning sun or as a silhouette for the sunset. Mount Pilatus is simply an extraordinary backdrop.

Stop 4 Pass by

The Rigi is the queen of the mountains and our tour takes us along its feet. The boat tour can also be wonderfully combined with a trip to the popular mountain. Be it with the cable car from Weggis or the oldest rack railway in Europe from Vitznau.

Shortly after Lucerne, the Bürgenstock comes into view. The mountain is not too high, but it is even more famous! The Grand Hotel opened on the Bürgenstock in 1873. Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn were regular guests. Sean Connery and politicians such as Jimmy Carter and Henry Kissinger have also been guests at the Bürgenstock. Qatar's sovereign wealth fund has completely renovated the hotel complex in recent years and added 30 new buildings. A spa and a golf course are part of the Bürgenstock Resort.

Weggis is the second largest tourist resort in the canton of Lucerne after Lucerne. Spa guests have been coming to Weggis since 1600. In addition to the beautiful location on the lake, the mild climate and therefore the southern flair are particularly attractive.
