A popular vacation destination for both native Swiss and visitors from abroad, the grand hotels and resorts that line Lake Lucerne have provided idyllic relaxation for everyone from royalty to rock stars. Visit the meadow of the Rütli, site of the founding of the Swiss Confederation, or take a walk down the 35 km Swiss Path built around the Lake of Uri.
The Lake Lucerne region of Switzerland is considered to have the greatest scenic diversity in Switzerland, and many say it is reminiscent of both a fjord landscape and a New England wooded forest. Here, boat cruises and small vessels outnumber cars, and a mild summer evening’s sail towards the main city’s sea of lights is truly unforgettable.
A striking feat of luxury architecture & design, contemporary Strandbad Seeburg on the edge of Lake Lucerne is the perfect place for Swiss summertime paddling.
