Directions

We start the cycling tour at Stansstad railway station and then cross the lakeside municipality of Stansstad in the direction of Harissen Bay. Here begins a narrow lakeside road along Lake Lucerne to Kehrsiten. This is partly blasted into the rock. Shortly after Harissenbucht, we pass the former military fortress of Fürigen, a 200-metre-long cave system. Today it is open as a museum from April to October. Far from the hustle and bustle, you will find an oasis of relaxation in Kehrsiten.

A funicular runs from Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock up to the Bürgenstock Resort. There you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and lakes. Nearby there is the Bürgenstock Felseweg and Hammetschwand lift, the highest free-standing open-air lift in Europe. More information: felsenweg.ch.
