Mountain
Rigi Kulm
Rigi Kulm (1,798 m above sea level) is the highest peak of the Rigi and offers a unique 360° panorama.
Seebodenalp
The Seebodenalp is a high plateau at 1,030 m above sea level, located on the northwestern flank of the Rigi. The forest-surrounded alp is most quickly accessible from Küssnacht am Rigi. The Seebodenalp is an ideal starting point for extensive hikes.
Pilatus
Weather maker, dragon seat, giant's home, and ruler's grave: The Lucerne mountain Pilatus is one of the most legendary places in Central Switzerland. And one of the most beautiful. On clear days, it offers a panorama featuring 73 alpine peaks.
See
Vierwaldstättersee
The Vierwaldstättersee, surrounded by famous excursion mountains, is the most diverse lake in the country.
It somewhat resembles a fjord landscape but is characterised by a mild lake climate. The shipping with five historic paddle steamers and 15 elegant salon motorboats is one of the highlights of the region.
City
Luzern
Set against an impressive mountain panorama, Luzern, the gateway to Central Switzerland, lies on Lake Lucerne.
The city is a popular destination for many travel groups and individual guests on their journey through Switzerland, thanks to its attractions, appealing shopping options, unique lakeside location, and nearby excursion mountains such as Rigi, Pilatus, or Stanserhorn.
