8 Lesser-Known Swiss Villages and Towns near Lake Lucerne to Include in Your Trip to Switzerland
Big cities grab the spotlight, but Switzerland’s heart beats in its quiet lakeside towns and mountain villages. Just beyond the city limits, there’s a richness of culture, scenery, and tradition waiting to be explored.
In this episode, I’m joined once again by Celine Deplazes from Lucerne Tourism to take you on a journey through some of the most beautiful boutique towns surrounding Lake Lucerne.
We explore hidden gems like Brunnen, Beckenried, and Sörenberg, where you'll find everything from lakeside serenity to immersive outdoor activities. Celine shares local tips, accommodation recommendations, and authentic experiences that offer something a little different from the well-trodden tourist path.
You’ll also learn how easy it is to visit these towns thanks to excellent public transport in Switzerland and of course, the Swiss Travel Pass makes getting around even simpler. We’ll touch on incredible excursions to Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi, and dive into some truly unique cultural experiences like glass-blowing in Hergiswil and exploring traditional craftsmanship in Stans, Switzerland.
If you're dreaming of scenic boat rides, mountain hikes, and postcard-worthy villages, this episode will give you plenty of inspiration for your Swiss itinerary.
Safe travels,
Carolyn
