Swiss Mountains and lakes

Lucerne never fails to entice visitors with its Lion Monument, the Rigi mountain and the Chapel Bridge, but the city’s much more than that. Picturesquely situated on Lake Lucerne, the city is the gateway to Central Switzerland, the home of William Tell and it is here where the Swiss Confederation was born. 

Both featured hotels are ideal starting points for exploring the region. You can look forward to exploring medieval old towns, impressive mountain panoramas and idyllic lake landscapes. Join us and experience the real and authentic Switzerland – you won’t be disappointed!

Itinerary

Day
1
Arrival in Lucerne

This tour first takes you over a gentle chain of hills with wonderful views of Lake Lucerne and the nearby Rigi mountain. The idyllic meadows and little side streets will almost make you forget how close to the city of Lucerne you still are.

You then pass the Küssnacht lakeside promenade on the way to Weggis, where a boat will take you to Beckenried. The route continues along the lake to the Horw peninsula, which offers a view of Lucerne’s iconic local mountain, the Pilatus, and rounds off the tour perfectly

The neighbouring town of Emmenbrücke leads to the ridge of the Brunauer Berg, which is home to numerous farms and fields. This stage has a few small hills, but the views of the nearby Emmental Valley and the beautiful farmhouses more than make up for the extra effort. Finally, you’ll pass Werthenstein Abbey and continue along the Kleine Emme back to Lucerne.

Today’s route takes you mostly along side streets, through quiet forests and past fields and farms to the charming town of Sursee on Lake Sempach. From here, there are also magnificent views of the nearby Alpine peaks and Mount Pilatus. Sursee is the perfect place for a lunch break before you make your way back to Lucerne on the narrow paths directly along Lake Sempach.

The first part of this route takes you back to Küssnacht on Lake Lucerne. From here, it’s only a few kilometres to Lake Zug, which marks the southern edge of the Rigi. A boat will be waiting for you in Immensee to take you and your bike to the town of Zug. You then continue along the shores of the lake to Rotkreuz, where you’ll follow a forest adventure trail back to Lucerne

Today’s stage takes you past Emmenbrücke to Lake Baldegg, home to over 300 species of plant. Heidegg Castle, beautifully situated on the banks of the lake, has a wonderfully preserved park and cultural landscape. If you like, you can indulge in a short tour of the rose garden before cycling back to Lucerne for the last time.

Tour Character

Routes of easy to moderate difficulty, mostly on tarmacked paths. The return journey from Werthenstein Monastery involves a stretch of road with more traffic. Any elevation gain is mainly due to the daily ascents and descents in the hilly countryside surrounding Lucerne.
