The manager Bruno is fantastic, he always has a smile on his face. The food is really good and there's always something healthy on the menu, I frequently order one of the huge salads and there are plenty of beverage choices both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. You can lock up your valuables and find a spot either in the shade on the main deck or on the sunfilled roof deck where you get the best views. If the lake is 20 grade and up you can jump via a ladder that goes directly into the deep part of the lake without treading on muck and rocks. In the evening you can watch the fish swim in the enclosed pool, lite up below with colored lights and relax at the bar. On occation, there is live music which makes the space even more magical.

Winter or summer, wind or snow, it's always a pleasure to unwind, get away from the town and be in contact with the nature. When the time comes to replace the rubber tips of your trekking poles, your best bet is Kaktus outdoor. Best place in town to find everything related to mountain sports: hiking boots, backpacks, functional clothing, skis, snow-shoes, rock climbing equipment and so on. Expect very knowledgeable and friendly staff and swiss standard prices.

If possible, try staying overnight at Gipfelrestaurant Fronalpstock for the best experience. It was quite the journey getting to the beginning of the trail from Lucerne. We had to take the train, a bus, then the world's steepest funicular, and finally a cable car. And if you're not spending the night in the area, make sure you begin your day early so you can catch the last cable car down the mountain after hiking. Harcore hikers can choose to skip the cable car but if you plan on taking the same transportation, look into the Stoos passes, which is also discounted with the Swiss Pass or Half Pass! Out of every hike we did during our trip, I would rate this the hardest. Not only were the steep parts really steep, it was also very hot and sunny. There were also a ton of flies and beetles so we were constantly moving to avoid them, giving us little time for breaks. And because we came from Lucerne, we arrived kind of late and there were already a lot of people on the trails. But the views are amazing and I stayed there overnight and got to see the sunset. It's best to hike this from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock so that you can end the hike at the restaurant and grab a couple of beers to enjoy the view. There's also some playgrounds for the younger kids and a gated area to enter and pet some miniature goats. If you go the other way, there isn't much of an area to chill at Klingenstock and you would just have to go back down the mountain. Overall, glad I got to do it once but it's a rough one to hike during the summer. The views were amazing though and being able to stay up there when it's empty was a nice experience.

You have the option of taking a tiny motorboat across the lake (for a fee, I assume - I myself have never taken it). Because this lake is mostly used for rowing/rowing practice, it's closed to swimming, but there's a "Seebad" on one end of the lake where you can pay to go swim. There's also a small playground for kids on one side of the lake.
