Bürgenstock
The Bürgenstock mountain with its rugged, steep rock face along the cliff path, awards spectacular views over the Lake Lucerne and a very special kind of uplifting experience.
The name Bürgenstock was originally introduced by Franz Josef Bucher for the Grand Hotel that he built on the Bürgenberg mountain in 1873. Today the name is used for the entire mountain ridge. With three quarters of it surrounded by the Lake Lucerne, the Bürgenstock is a unique vantage point.
The Hammetschwand panoramic lift climbs up the Bürgenstock. At the turn of the 19th century, hotelier and railway pioneer Franz Josef Bucher created the well-anchored cliff path, a round trail with impressive panoramic views leading through a varied landscape of forest and meadow back to the starting point, the Hammetschwand.
Climbing 152.8 metres, the Hammetschwand lift was constructed during the extravagant tourism era of Belle Époque. Today it takes just 48 seconds to reach the highest point of the city of Luzern, making it the fastest lift in Europe. When the lift was built in 1905, it took a full 3 minutes to reach the top and was extremely irregular because of voltage fluctuations.
