The beautiful clear blue waters of Lake Lucerne sit amongst the tree lined mountains of Central Switzerland. With its finger like fjords this glacial lake is the meeting point of four Swiss cantons and is the birth place of Switzerland and the legends of William Tell. There is an abundance of activities on offer, from lakeside strolls to mountain walks, from rope park action to relaxing pedaloes, and from interesting museums to indulgent shops. We offer accommodation in Lucerne and Weggis. The cultural city of Lucerne is at the northern most end of the lake whilst Weggis is an idyllic village on the sunny west side at the foot of Mount Rigi.
