More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from a quiet cobblestone lane into a broad sweep of water and mountain: Lake Lucerne stretches like glass, edged by pastel facades and the wooden span of the Chapel Bridge. The day moves quickly — a private vehicle ferries your group through valley light toward Engelberg, and the valley tightens until the cable car climbs, rotating slowly to reveal a knife-edged skyline.
