LUCERNE AND THE CHAPEL BRIDGE
Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and has incredibly beautiful sights. We recommend a discovery tour over the Chapel Bridge and through the narrow streets of the old town. The perfect journey to Lucerne takes you from Weggis by boat to the heart of the city (approx. 45 min.)

ORIGINAL MUOTATHAL
A lot comes together here: Earthiness, tradition, untouched nature, rugged rocks, powerful places. Outdoor freaks we recommend a tour through the nature reserve and the largest jungle in Switzerland: the Bödmernwald - here you experience a unique world of stone, rock, water and plants. The valley is also rich in exciting historical facts.
Our tip: During the summer months visit the alpine farms of the region and drink fresh cow milk.
