Bürgenstock and Hammetschwand Lift

Rock path, lake views and Europe's highest outdoor lift

Bürgenstock combines lake, mountain and views in a particularly beautiful way. Even the journey from Lucerne is an experience in itself: take the boat across Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten, then continue up to the resort on the historic Bürgenstock funicular. From there, a walk along the Felsenweg rock path, along the mountain edge, leads to the Hammetschwand Lift. Always in view: the lake, the city and central Switzerland.

The Hammetschwand Lift is the highest free-standing outdoor lift in Europe and takes you even higher in just a few moments. At the top, far-reaching views, mountain air and an outing await that combines well with a walk, a coffee or a short hike. Perfect for anyone who wants to experience Lucerne from the water and from above. Spectacular, yet easy to plan.
