Travel dates

Time at leisure in Lucerne. Due to its central location right on Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains such as f.ex. the impressive Mount Pilatus, Mt. Rigi – Queen of the mountains or Mount Titlis at 3020 m/10’000 ft high, Lucerne is considered to be the "Switzerland in Switzerland". We recommend you explore one of these mountains.
