Hiking: Round tour Lake Lucerne
Panoramic trails in the heart of Switzerland
A hiking adventure in the heart of Switzerland. The high altitude hikes around Lake Lucerne are pearls worth discovering. First you pass over Renggpass to reach the lakes and peaks of central Switzerland. From here you continue to Nidwalden and enjoy marvellous views on Lake of Uri and Mount Rigi. After crossing the lake basin you will climb the “queen of the Mountains” and dream of the spectacular mountain panoramas you’ve enjoyed during the last days.
Baggage drop-off in Lucerne. Today’s leg leads via Horw peninsula to Mount Pilatus. Steep passage over the Renggpass, the only overland link to Obwalden in the 1860s before the construction of the Brunigstrasse.
By bus to Dallenwil and with the cable car up to Niederrickenbach. This leg leads on the well-known “wildlife path” on the mountain flanks of Schwalmis and Oberbauen. You reach Niederbauen and go by cable car down to the same placed village.
Down towards the shores of Lakes Lucerne and through the refreshingly cool gorge on the Urnersee lake – along the lakeshore road to Risleten and a climb through the attractive Risletenschlucht gorge. Crossing of the Stützberg along the historic path to Volligen and arrival in Rütli, with views down to the Urnersee lake. From here by ship to Brunnen.
Steep descend towards Seebodenalp, one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Swiss mountains. Take a break in the mountain hut. If you want, you can shorten today’s hike by cable car down to Küssnacht am Rigi. From Küssnacht a boat trip to Lucerne and departure.

Très belle randonnée de 5 jours autour du lac des 4 cantons. Le parcours est superbe, certaines étapes un peu difficiles. Le système de vouchers (téléphériques, bateaux) a très bien fonctionné, quoique il était parfois un peu difficile de s'y retrouver dans les différents papiers. La mise à dispostion des fichiers GPX était très utile. Pour finir nos bagages ont toujours bien suivi tous nos déplacements. Cela nous a donné envie de tester d'autres parcours à l'avenir !
