Buergenstock is a mountain-climatic forest resort at an altitude of 950 meters above sea level, in the heart of central Switzerland. Bürgenstock is located on a hilly peninsula, on the shores of Lake Lucerne, or as it is called - the lakes of the Four Cantons near Zurich, Basel and Bern.
It is a city for high-quality (and quite expensive relaxation). The stars of world politics and economics rested here: French Foreign Minister Louis Bartoux and the first Chancellor of Germany Konrad Adenauer, as well as just stars: Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.
Covered by mountains, the peninsula, on which the whole hotel complex is located, is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world and a separate pride of Switzerland. One of the oldest and most fashionable hotel complexes in Europe was founded in 1873.

The main pleasure in Bürgenstock is walking, cycling on high mountains and along a beautiful lake. It is believed that the air Bürgenstock - light, clean and slightly discharged - a universal remedy for insomnia, fatigue and depression.
The Bourgenshok funicular was opened in 1888 and completely rebuilt in 2002 (although authentic red trailers and lacquered benches have been preserved). For full immersion in the atmosphere, we recommend sailing on a ship from Lucerne and climb the cable car. Enjoy fast-opening species and horizon for 13 francs.
Elevator Hammetschwand. Leading to the top of the mountain (at a height of 1132 m), the elevator, built 105 years ago, is the highest open lift in Europe. His current reconstructed child raises the passengers vertically to a height of 152 m in less than a minute. A short journey is breathtaking. At the end of the trip, you will be at the highest point in Lucerne - Mount Hammetschwand (the cost of the trip is 10 CHF).
Once on the mountain, you can choose one of the twelve walking routes. Singing thrushes and bell ringing will accompany your journey. The panorama that lies before you will allow you to view all the Five Lakes and the whole of Central Switzerland before the Bernese Alps.
