Felsenweg With View Towards Weggis

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful path, especially because it goes along in the shade, a real insider tip in summer, the ride on the lift is an experience.

Bürgenstock Cliff Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path, even in fog. Instead of a view you have a mystical atmosphere. In the middle you can take the Hammetschwand lift to the summit of the Bürgenstock. There you can enjoy the mountain panorama.

First, we drive up a few switchbacks to the congress center, where the Ukraine Peace and Support Conference was held just a few days ago, then we drive along a luxury mile to a steadily ascending path near the refuge where Katharine Hepburn had temporarily retreated, to the spectacular lift, which offers a spectacular view and allows you to climb …

Second last photo shows the gate you need to pass if you want to walk up instead of taking the lift. There is no sign.
