The BEST day trips from Lucerne! Top Swiss mountain excursions and charming towns to visit.

Holidays to Switzerland Travel Podcast - Plan Your Swiss Vacation

Whether you're looking to scale mountain peaks, enjoy serene lakeside towns, or discover hidden gems, Lucerne offers a wealth of opportunities for every traveler in Switzerland.

While the city itself is a delight to explore, one of Lucerne's greatest assets is its access to some of the most breathtaking day and half-day excursions in the region.

In this episode, I’m joined by Céline Deplazes from Lucerne Tourism to explore some of the best day and half-day excursions you can take from Lucerne. You'll learn about the different mountains you can explore, like Mount Pilatus, Mount Rigi, and Mount Titlis, each offering unique experiences.

Céline and I chat about everything from the peaceful and lesser-known Stanserhorn to the thrilling ride on the steepest funicular in the world to reach Stoos. We also talk about visiting charming lakeside villages like Brunnen, and small towns near Lucerne, perfect for those who want to experience authentic Swiss village life.

Tune in and find out which mountain excursions are best for you and why Lucerne is the perfect year-round destination.

Happy travels,

Carolyn
