With the Bürgenstock Resort high above Lake Lucerne, a piece of tourism history is now shining in new splendour. While guests from all over the world can choose from a range of activities that are as broad as they are diverse, the Geberit AquaClean Sela shower toilet is a permanent fixture in all suites.

The Bürgenstock Funicular – which was Switzerland’s first electrical funicular railway –masters the rise of 440 metres as elegantly as ever before. Once you have reached the top, you can immediately see why the origins of the hotel business on the Bürgenstock go back as far as 1873: The buildings nestle against the mountainside above Lake Lucerne like an eagle’s nest, offering a panorama that stretches from Lucerne and the surrounding hills right through to the Alpine peaks.

Apart from the classically styled Palace, the rest of the hotel resort is now unrecognisable. In the most prominent position is the flagship of the new resort – the Bürgenstock Hotel with its dark limestone facade. The top station of the funicular is located inside this building. A few steps away is the Medical Wellness Waldhotel, whose gabion facade is based on the Vigilius Mountain Resort in South Tyrol, which – like the Medical Wellness Waldhotel – was designed by Matteo Thun.
