Magical Sunrise Experience | from Lucerne

At the crack of dawn, we set off for the Sonnenberg near Lucerne. After a short bus ride from Lucerne train station, we walk up the Sonnenberg, where we can witness a spectacular sunrise over Mount Rigi. Beside us, the first rays of sunlight bathe Mount Pilatus in color. Our path takes us past farms with cows and into the mystical Wolfsschlucht (Wolf’s Gorge). We follow the edge of the forest back to the restaurant, where we enjoy the scenery from the beautiful terrace. Afterward, we return to our starting point. Optionally, from 10:00 a.m. onwards, you can take the historic Sonnenberg funicular down to Kriens and continue from there to Lucerne.
