Nice path in the shade, which is really good in summer.

Beautiful path, especially because it goes along in the shade, a real insider tip in summer, the ride on the lift is an experience.

Bürgenstock Cliff Trail

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path, even in fog. Instead of a view you have a mystical atmosphere. In the middle you can take the Hammetschwand lift to the summit of the Bürgenstock. There you can enjoy the mountain panorama.

An absolute technical masterpiece. The free-standing lift goes up 164 metres on the vertical north face.

On the Bürgenstock you can enjoy a very beautiful all-round view of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
At the lift from the Bürgenstock there is the Hammetschwand self-service restaurant with stone tables and benches and in summer you can have a picnic etc. on the adjacent meadow and enjoy the wonderful view.

Very nice walk with a wonderful view 😊

At the Hotel Villa Honegg you can warm up with a ☕ and a delicious homemade cream slice 😋

I really like the rock path because of its length and the view - but on a Sunday like today there are unfortunately just too many people around🙈

Since I've never hiked the entire Felsenweg trail before, I wanted to tackle it today. I quickly checked the website: It's open. So I planned a loop. Since I wanted to see the Bürgenstock Resort, I walked along a paved road to the resort. There are definitely nicer trails for next time :-) There, I discovered that the Felsenweg trail …
