Lucerne: Guided Day Hike to Lucerne Ridge & Lake Views｜Switzerland

Our guide will meet you at Torbogen, the arch just in front of the entrance of the main train station. After making sure that you have all that you will need you will start together for great adventure.

Embark on a private guided day hike from Lucerne to the peaks of Stoos and Fronalpstock. Ride the world's steepest funicular, take in panoramic views of the Alps, and learn about high Alpine farming.

Start your day with a train ride along the shores of 2 lakes to Arth-Goldau, where you will change to a local bus to Schwyz. Take the world’s newest and steepest mountain funicular to reach the resort village of Stoos at 1300 meters.

A brief hike through the pretty mountain village takes you to the chairlift station. A relaxing 20-minute ride on a chairlift takes you to the top of Klingenstock (operating times depend on weather).

The real hike begins at the top with a 360º alpine view, following a mountain trail that meanders along the ridge. In places, the path has been carved out of the rock and strong steel cables provide security to the hiker.

Along the route, you may be lucky to see farmers at work harvesting “wild hay” on the steep mountain slopes. A refuge hut gives information about this age-old farming method, its particular challenges, and its importance for the maintenance of the local ecology.

A short steep final ascent gets you up to the Fronalpstock where the highest restaurant in the canton of Schwyz is located. Reward yourself with a refreshment at the very Swiss restaurant with an unbeatable view over the whole Lake Lucerne.

Descend the Klingenstock by chairlift or hike back down to Stoos with your guide. End your day with a funicular and a train ride back to Lucerne.

The guide will make sure that you return safe to the starting point in Lucerne full of happy and experiences and beautiful images of the Swiss nature.
