Your day kicks off with a relaxing coach journey from Zurich, led by an expert English-speaking guide. Drive through scenic Swiss countryside and enjoy uninterrupted lake views as you approach Lucerne from a picturesque new route. Without the earlier detours, you’ll have more time to soak in the charm of Lucerne. On arrival, your guide will walk you through the city’s key sights — from the iconic Chapel Bridge and Jesuit Church to the Culture and Congress Centre.
Use your free time to explore Lucerne’s Old Town or grab lunch at one of its cozy cafés. In the afternoon, enjoy a peaceful boat ride across Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten. Then, hop aboard the famous Bürgenstock funicular — a steep and scenic climb that takes you up to one of Switzerland’s most exclusive alpine resorts.
Perched high above the lake, the Bürgenstock Resort blends luxury and history — once frequented by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery. Admire panoramic views, explore nearby hiking trails, or simply relax in a setting that feels like a postcard come to life. If you're feeling adventurous, set off on an alpine trail to the Hammetschwand Lift — the world’s highest outdoor elevator.
After descending back to Kehrsiten, board the boat to return to Lucerne. Rejoin your guide and travel comfortably back to Zurich. As a bonus, your entire day is carbon-balanced, thanks to certified sustainable operations by myclimate — so you can enjoy the Alps with peace of mind.
