Amazing experience and views of classic Swiss town and mountains, worth the time and money to go up…read moreand walk / hike

Such a fun attraction! Loved all of it. We got here early to beat the crowds and only waited about…read more10 minutes tops to get into the first gondola that seats 4 adults. The ride up is breathtakingly beautiful and once at the highest elevation, there are several options to walk up paths and stairs to get even a bit higher. Remember that at nearly 7000 feet above sea level, the air can get thin! Be sure to take your time and rest if necessary. At top there are shops and food and a hotel. The cog wheel wasn't open yet but one day I shall return to ride it too! On the way down we stopped at the ropes course and tobbagon ride. Tobaggan ride was great but be careful who is in front of you if you want to go fast. On my first run the woman in front of me was completely stopped inside a tunnel and needed encouragement to get her butt in gear. (It's a serious safety issue if they do that!!) But I felt the need for speed and went a 2nd time with much better results. Be sure to plan to spend a day in Lucerne and perhaps take a cruise on a tour boat around the lake and soak in the sites including the mountain peak you were just on!

We had dinner reservations for 6 of us. Our table was ready when we got there…read more We asked lots of questions before putting our wine and dinner selections. The wait person was incredibly patient the whole time. We went with the steak tartare, pork chops, fish and chips and half a chicken. They were all divine! We also paired our entrees with a Swiss White Blend which was amazing. All together, this really cute neighborhood bar is well worth a visit!
