Gstaad - Bern - Lucerne - Zurich Today was our last full day in Switzerland. We departed Gstaad mid-morning and took the train to Bern, then Lucerne. Lucerne is a beautiful lakeside city surrounded by hills, a lake, and a few mountains. Lucerne (Luzern),is the capital of the Canton of Lucerne and seat of the district with the same name. With a population of around 60,000, Lucerne is the most populous city in Central Switzerland. Located on the shore of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstattersee) within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne is a big tourist destination. One of the city's famous landmarks is Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrucke), a wooden bridge first built in the 14th century.
The Golden Route Kriens - Pilatus - Alpnachstad - Lake Lucerne - City. First take the 3 stage cablecar to the summit of Pilatus. Then, take what is known as the world's steepest cogwheel railway up to Alpnachstad, then the lake steamer back to town. At the Pilatus Kulm peak (2132 meters) you'll see alpine meadows, mountain streams, rugged cliffs and breathtaking panoramic views over the lakes of Central Switzerland, not to mention the Alps – no fewer than 73 mountain peaks.
