Vitznau –the Magic of the Lucerne Riviera


A Kaleidoscopic Winter
Winter is here at last and the stunning hibernal landscape beckons with a variety of activities. The lake is ever-changing with its mythical, atmospheric mists, while up on the mountain the sea of fog is always an incredible sight.

The Yoga-Trail Audio Guide provides guidance for yoga practices in the great outdoors. The Ge(h)dankenweg, or Path of Contemplation, encourages reflections upon fundamental life questions. The Kastanienweg focuses on the fascinating hidden history of the chestnut tree in the region, while the Helsana Trail activates muscles all over the body.
The culinary landscape of Vitznau is also worth exploring. In addition to the three excellent starred restaurants Focus, Inspiration and Sens, dining venues such as the Restaurant Rigi, the Restaurant Rütli, and the Restaurant Hinterbergen welcome guests with an authentic and down-to-earth ambience.
