Lake Lucerne
The forecasts are good that a very special tour will be possible on Sunday. Namely a round trip with the Swiss cable cars and funiculars to make 3 long descents, one of them down to Lake Lucerne. From the starting point, we comfortably reach the summit by cable car. We immerse ourselves in the snow-covered landscape with the aim of enjoying as many pleasurable turns as possible on freshly snow-covered grassy terrain. In total, we will ascend around 400 metres and, if everything goes well, ski down a full 3000 metres in a unique lake setting and right up to the shores of Lake Lucerne. On Saturday evening it will snow down to low altitudes, on Sunday it will remain cool and the sun will be shining.
And if the snow doesn't quite reach the bottom: no problem. We remain flexible and choose a very rewarding alternative in the same area - with equally beautiful descents, a wintry atmosphere and a harmonious overall experience. As always, the plan is there, but the conditions set the pace. This spontaneous tour is aimed at anyone who is in the mood for a special day of skiing, appreciates little ascent, wants to enjoy many pleasurable turns and likes to be surprised.
