The hiking trail is always worth a trip. The views are gigantic. There is something to see on every corner.

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.

An absolute technical masterpiece. The free-standing lift goes up 164 metres on the vertical north face.

On the Bürgenstock you can enjoy a very beautiful all-round view of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
At the lift from the Bürgenstock there is the Hammetschwand self-service restaurant with stone tables and benches and in summer you can have a picnic etc. on the adjacent meadow and enjoy the wonderful view.

June 12, 2023,Einfach nur draussen 🌍🇨🇭 Bürgenstock- Seewligrat 🥾🍀
Yesterday's concert 🎵 in Bern is still kind of in my bones, late to bed and early out... I didn't really want to get going. 🥾

Originally I had planned something else, but somehow I ended up at the Bürgenstock again to end a tour that I had once started.
Which again proved impossible. Well nice the rock path at …

The goal was actually to walk along the Felsenweg. However, a large section is still closed until the end of June. Small advantage: Despite the weekend, there is relatively little going on on the paths.

In retrospect, the round could certainly have been shortened, because the second half of the way is less interesting and offers hardly any prospects.

After my arrival in central Switzerland, I naturally wanted to stretch my legs a bit, so check the weather and lo and behold 😃👍, it doesn't look that bad 😊. Yes, and so I decide to do a lap to the Bürgenstock and start the tour from the free car park in Fürigen.

It is autumn, the fog is in the valley, so let's get to the mountains.
We were still in the fog for the first few meters, but I think the moment when the fog clears is spectacular.
I felt a bit sorry for the people on the terrace of the Hotel Villa Honegg, the cocktails and starters were already on …

Very nice tour over the Felsenweg to the Bürgenstock. Free parking below........ which you don't find that often. Ascent to the Bürgenstock resort and entrance to the Felsenweg is relatively short and easy to do. So you can save the train or parking costs. Especially the train journey is completely overpriced.

A round in the Trift area was originally planned for today. The weather put a spoke in our wheel. The thunderstorm cells on the rain radar just barely moved in this area and the forecasts around noon weren't any better. So Daniel rescheduled while driving (he was co-driver) and put together a short lap that was more or less on …

As a prelude to my short trip to Central Switzerland, I visited the very sophisticated resort on the Bürgenstock. Of course I can't just enjoy the lake and mountain view and walk on the very simple but beautiful rocky path with great views... There had to be a detour to the summit (without a lift, which somehow didn't fit into …

Very nice hike with a balanced amount of shade through deciduous forests. Paths are very easy to walk. A hike with impressive views of the lake and the Alps!
