Lake
Idyllic bays, fjord-like rock faces and deep blue water - Lake Lucerne is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland.
Surrounded by majestic mountains, Lake Lucerne is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland. With its branching arms and bays, its shape is reminiscent of a fjord landscape. Its unusual shape was created at the end of the last ice age by the erosion of the Reuss glacier. Lake Lucerne owes its name to the four cantons bordering it, which were formerly called Waldstätten: Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden and Lucerne.
