Stunning Lake Lucerne curls in and around alpine peaks and is dotted with pretty lakeside towns. As well as being spectacularly beautiful, and at times serene, at times dramatic, and at times bursting with life, Lake Lucerne is an amazing place for an adventure. Sure, you’re close to lovely Lucerne, but there are still plenty of demanding local peaks to summit, pistes to traverse and the lake’s coastline to explore. Or you could just come here to relax. Many of our recommendations for the best hotels on Lake Lucerne allow for both of these types of breaks, but we’ve broken them up into types of hotel rather than location to make it easier to see which one suits you best. Whether you are planning a family getaway, a luxury break or a couples' escape — there is something to suit most trips here. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next getaway?
