Lake Lucerne is Switzerland's most idyllic lake, its numerous fingers twisting and turning through the landscape, with tremendous mountains all around. Historic steamers ply the vivid blue waters, linking the handsome city of Lucerne with the picturesque villages along the shore. High above the lake, great peaks draw the walker's gaze, and rack railways give easy access to panoramic high paths, allowing you to appreciate this beautiful area to the full.
Each route was different, sometimes through farmland, sometimes in the high mountains. By the end of the week we felt that we had had the 'complete Swiss experience'.
     
Staff travel diary
This is a unique walk in that it combines superb walking with thrilling boat, rail and cable car journeys (all included) that take you right into the heart of the mountains, avoiding too many steep sections on foot. As such, this is a high-altitude walk that is suitable for all of average fitness, featuring a mix of short uphill routes and longer routes on the flat. The landscapes through which you walk are surprisingly varied, and the shape of the lake, together with the effects of the light, make for a constantly changing panorama of which it is impossible to tire. In late June and throughout July, the flowers are spectacular, while September is a favourite time for walkers.
