A unique aspect of the Bürgenstock experience is its historic transportation system. Guests often arrive via a scenic boat journey across Lake Lucerne followed by a ride on the historic Bürgenstock Funicular. This charming railway, originally opened in the nineteenth century, carries visitors from the lakeshore to the mountaintop resort, providing spectacular views during the ascent and creating a memorable arrival experience.
The resort is also home to several iconic attractions, including the famous Hammetschwand Lift, Europe’s highest outdoor elevator. Rising dramatically along a cliff face, the lift transports visitors to a panoramic viewing platform where they can enjoy unparalleled vistas of Lake Lucerne, the surrounding mountains, and the Swiss countryside. This remarkable engineering achievement has become one of the region’s most popular landmarks.
