Delve into the stunning Alpine landscapes of Switzerland on this day trip from Zurich: explore picturesque Lucerne and admire breathtakingly beautiful views from Bürgenstock mountain.

Lucerne & Bürgenstock Day Trip

After meeting at the Sihlquai bus terminal parking lot in Zurich at the indicated time, you'll climb aboard your bus and head to Lucerne. As you take in the views of the beautiful Lake of the Four Cantons, your guide will point out the most important monuments in the old town, including Chapel Bridge, the oldest wooden bridge in Europe and one of Switzerland's most photographed monuments, and the Jesuit Church, a historic Baroque temple on the banks of the River Reuss.

Arriving in Lucerne, one of Switzerland's prettiest and most enigmatic cities, you'll have free time to explore its picturesque sights at your own pace, and your guide will recommend some of the best places to check out, such as Weinmarkt Square.

Having made the most of your time in Lucerne, you'll embark on a boat trip across Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten, where you'll take the funicular railway up Bürgenstock mountain. At the peak, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a hike amongst the stunning nature or to explore the famous resort located here, which originally opened in 1827 and has hosted renowned guests, including Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery. You'll also have time to hike up to the Hammetschwand Lift, the world's tallest exterior elevator.

At the end of the day, you'll take the funicular back down to Lucerne, where you'll meet back up with your guide for the return journey to Zurich by bus.

Hammetschwand Lift

Please note that the Hammetschwand Lift is open between April and October, provided that weather conditions are suitable.

Additional Info

The tour is with a guide from Zurich to Lucerne and from Lucerne to Zurich. While you're in Lucerne and Bürgenstock, you won't have a guide, but the guide will give you plenty of info so that you can explore both places at your own pace.
Please note that some shops in Lucerne and Bürgenstock are closed on Sundays.
The funicular railway will be closed from March 16th to 20th 2026 for maintenance.
