You leave the city behind as the road climbs toward a northern flank of the Alps; glassy Lake Lucerne flashes on your left and the air tightens with cold as you near Engelberg. In Lucerne the guide steers you through a compact old town where cobblestones and painted façades lead to the Lion Monument — a quiet, powerful slice of Swiss history carved into stone.
