Central Switzerland

Tips and suggestions for your stay in the region can be found here:

One of the most striking regions in Europe is located in the heart of Switzerland, not far from the economic metropolis of Zurich in the north, the triumvirate of Eiger Mönch and Jungfrau in the Bernese Upperland in the southwest and the gateway to the Gotthard. Central Switzerland is a veritable pool of technical masterpieces, especially in the context of transporting people to the majestic mountains of the region. The oldest mountain railway in Europe leads to the 1798m high Rigi. A maximum track gradient of 48 percent makes the rack railway to Lucerne’s local mountain, the 2128m high Pilatus, the steepest of its kind. Even on summer days, you don’t have to do altogether without winter delights. The Titlis cable cars (https://www.titlis.ch) transport guests in a rotating gondola to the realm of eternal ice and snow. The Stamserhorn (https://www.stanserhorn.ch) with its nostalgic funicular, the world’s first CabriO and the Rondorama revolving restaurant round off these unique mountain experiences in the summer months. Lake Lucerne, perhaps the most beautiful lake in Switzerland, gently embeds itself in this gigantic mountain backdrop. One of the largest steamboat fleets in the world, the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Vierwaldstättersee connects the glittering Lucerne world with idyllic holiday resorts and places steeped in history such as the Hohlen Gasse in Küssnacht am Rigi or the Rütli.
