Visiting Lake Lucerne is like stepping into a postcard of Switzerland's natural beauty. Surrounded by the dramatic Swiss Alps, the lake's pristine waters mirror the breathtaking landscape. As you cruise across its surface, you're treated to picturesque villages, historic lakeside towns, and medieval architecture that seem frozen in time. Whether you're sailing, hiking, or simply admiring the view, one thing is for sure; Lake Lucerne makes for an enchanting escape.
Everywhere you turn at Bürgenstock there seems to be floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor balconies, or a wrap-around pool, which makes sense once you see the views of Lake Lucerne from the the mountaintop resort. Stars once lived on the property, but a major renovation in 2017 made sure that Bürgenstock’s heyday is nowhere near ending, especially thanks to the opening of one of Europe’s most highly anticipated new spas.
