Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive Lucerne
On arrival at Zurich's airport you are met and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel in Lucerne where your Guardian Angel assists with check-in.
Overnight: Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern
Day 2 - Lucerne
Embark on a walking tour with your local guide, stopping to see the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall); the Hofkirche, which was first part of a monastery founded in 750; and the celebrated Glacier Gardens. During your tour take a relaxing boat cruise on the lake.
In your free time, you might want to stroll along the lake shore, stopping off at a terrace to take in the views. Alternatively, you may wish to visit one of its museums. The Rosengart Collection houses many works by classic Modernist artists, including over 100 works by Paul Klee and some 50 by Pablo Picasso. The Swiss Transport Museum shows the development and technical progress of all forms of transport on land, water and in the air, including how the many tunnels through the mountains are dug.

Day 3 - Mount Stanserhorn
Set out for an excursion up Mount Stanserhorn, which offers some of the best views over Lake Lucerne. In 1893 an innovative mountain railway opened to take tourists to the top of this mountain. Continuing this pioneering spirit, the mountain now offers the world’s first open-topped cable car, the Cabrio, inaugurated in 2012. After taking a ride on the beautifully restored vintage train to the first mountain platform, continue your ascent with the wind in your hair! The double-decker cable car offers stunning 360-degree panoramic views from both the enclosed lower deck and the open top deck while whisking you to the top of the mountain. Upon arrival at the summit, you are rewarded with breath-taking views and a drink in the revolving restaurant. Travel back down the mountain to Stans, to explore the town’s beautiful baroque architecture before transferring back to your hotel.
