Bicycle Routes and Renting
Weggis Vitznau Rigi
Explore this wonderful region around Lake Lucerne by bicycle. The routes are extremely varied and there are varied levels of difficulty to choose from. Experience the crisp mountain air as you reach the mountain peak or feel the fresh lake breeze as you speed along the lakeside. Why not take a refreshing dip in the lake on the way?
Around the Bürgenstock
The route first follows the lake shore as far as Gersau. From there you can take the regular boat service across the lake to Beckenried. When you get off it's back in the saddle and you're on your way again along the lake shore heading towards Buochs. You then pedal across the beautiful countryside to Stansstad. Having arrived back at the lake follow the narrow lakeshore road to Kehrsiten and look out for the next boat to take you back to Weggis/Vitznau.
Actual biking time: approx. 2 hours
Distance: 35 km
Tip: On a hot Summer's day a dip in the lake is most refreshing! Visit the historic town of Stans.
Around the Rigi
Start by following the winding road along the lake shore as far as the Urmiberg cable station in Brunnen. Now follow the lower reaches of the Muota river towards Seewen. After the village of Lauerz there is a brief climb up to the Bernerhöchi, then it's down hill towards Lake Zug. Why not treat yourself to a local fish dish; "Zuggerrötel", in Zug. This delicious light dish will recharge your batteries for the journey back home.
Actual biking time approx. 3 hours
Distance 50 km
Tip: The wildlife park in Goldau and the Hohle Gasse in Küssnacht are well worth a visit.
