A dazzling winter resort town called Bürgenstock awaits you in the very heart of Switzerland. Located at 850 meters above sea level, the town is famous for its picturesque views. At the foot of Bürgenstock is the forest of the same name as the town and from the town itself you can see the shores of Lake Lucerne. It is only 69 km away from Zurich, which means that you can be there in no time at all by using our airport transfer service.
Bürgenstock gained its popularity thanks to the Hammettstachtwacht cable car. The famous lift was built and put into operation by the Stindler company. The lift is used to take tourists up to a height of about 152 meters in just 2 minutes. It is considered to be one of the first facilities with similar parameters and realized operational characteristics and was one of the first ski lifts in Europe.
On the very ridge of the summit lies a great restaurant where you can taste some of the Swiss cuisine masterpieces and enjoy the beauty of the natural sights and the lake, located at the foot of the mountain. In close proximity to Bürgenstock is another large and famous resort in Switzerland – the city of Lucerne.
Bürgenstock offers its guests great experiences – both traditional winter sports and skiing, as well as the opportunity to witness first-hand big stars from the cinema and show business world. Frequent guests of the resort include Sophia Loren, Marcel Morsa, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Sean Connery, and others.
The hiking trails are also quite well-mapped and marked. The incredible golf courses, on the other hand, are winning over golf lovers. The hosts have made sure that visitors don’t miss a beat. Great boat rides are organized on the lake, which is in its own right an attraction and fun, especially in the dark part of the day. This way you can give yourself a truly romantic experience. Peace and harmony reign in these parts of central Switzerland – exactly what you need for the perfect holiday.
