Hikes

Take the gondola lift from Emmetten or hike all the way up to Niederbauen and then choose one of the several breathtaking hikes: The Panorama way, is considered one of the 10 most beautiful panoramic hikes in Switzerland!! Rated a „Medium“ (I would call it a medium PLUS!) difficulty level. You must NOT be afraid of hights (you are sometimes hiking right next to a cliff😳), you must be in good condition and as always, make sure to wear proper hiking equipment!

Sightseeing

Try one of the free walking tours around the city. (I can give you a map!) I specifically recommend visiting Lucerne on a Saturday or Tuesday morning and taking a stroll through the local market along the Reuss river.
