What you’ll do

The Lake Lucerne region is our favorite part of Switzerland, with so many gorgeous lakes, dramatic hikes, and fun activities for families.

At each destination, I've included a options for hikers, families, and non-hikers so you can organize your itinerary to suit your particular needs.

Most of the mountains here are not quite as well know as Zermatt and Jungfrau Region, so you more of an authentic Swiss vibe and less English-speakers.

Lucerne is also a good choice for spring, since some of the mountains are lower elevation and open earlier for summer hiking season.

Have fun out there!

Lucerne City

Lucerne is a small city, which you can easily see in a half day. If you enjoy history, we suggest a guided walking tour, which usually start around 10am. For the afternoon, you could enjoy a short boat tour or one of the museums.

Better to do a self-guided wander of Lucerne old town, strolling along the river and bridges. Then perhaps the afternoon at the nearby chocolate factory, transportation museum or lakeside swimming on a hot day.
