Switzerland – day's outings

Thanks to its central situation Lucerne is the ideal point of departure for excursions to different regions of Switzerland.

 

Bernese Oberland

The Brünig pass links Central Switzerland to the Bernese Oberland. Brienz, a pittoresque little village on lake Brienz is well-known for its wood carvings. Interlaken lies on the way to Grindelwald and the famous Jungfrau region.

 

Bernese central plateau – Emmental – Berne, the capital of Switzerland

On a journey to the centre of cheese production you drive past typical farming villages scattered over a hilly countryside. A visit to Berne, the capital of Switzerland, is a must. From the rose garden you get a first impression of its historic part that has been a World Heritage Site since 1983.

 

Eastern Switzerland

The centre of attraction in the eastern region of Switzerland is St Gall with its famous monastery - another World Heritage Site worth a visit.

 

Ticino

On the south side of the Alps you enjoy a mild climate in a Mediterranean atmosphere with palm trees, unspoilt valleys and impressive monuments. Explore the quaint narrow lanes and bustling squares of Bellinzona, Lugano, Locarno and Ascona.
