How I spent 2 days in Lucerne Switzerland (prices included) ～

Welcome to Part 1 of my Switzerland visual diary in Lucerne!

🇨🇭Detailed description ~

This is my first time travelling to Switzerland! I will be sharing a whole bunch of cool scenic ideas that you can also consider adding to your Switzerland itinerary if you find them useful!

This video covers our itinerary and plan around the Lucerne area in Switzerland, and it includes day trips from Lucerne to really scenic and amazing spots.

We started the trip at Zurich airport, after landing we headed straight to the nearby Migros supermarket to get some ready-to-eat food from the convenience section. We then boarded the train from Zurich to Lucerne (or Luzern, which is German for Lucerne).

For first time visitors to Switzerland, the public transport system was incredibly easy to navigate using both Google maps and the SBB app. We took a bus from the main train station to our Airbnb which was located conveniently a couple of stops away.

For 3 days and 2 nights, accommodations cost us $346 SGD

Day 1 - Lucerne Old Town & Stanserhorn

We got on a short train ride to Stans, heading to the Stanserhorn which we found to be free to visit as long as you have a valid Swiss Travel Pass. It had some of the most amazing 360-degree views of the entire region including views of Mount Pilatus and Titlis which are also really popular destinations in the region.

Taking the funicular up to the peak of Stanserhorn, it also has a restaurant where you can dine at for some authentic Swiss food which we thought were relatively quite affordable too.

We ended day 1 of the trip exploring the Old Town of Lucerne, one of the prettiest and charming towns I’ve seen.

Day 2A: Mount Titlis & Lake Trubsee

We started the day super early and was able to freely explore the famous Chapel Bridge in Lucerne. It is known to be incredibly crowded and busy in the day, but very peaceful and there were no crowds when you visit it in the early morning (nice hack!! hahaha)

An important tip for travelling to Switzerland is to always check the weather before going to your planned destinations. There are live webcams on their websites.

Mount Titlis was extremely clear today, with almost perfect visibility and no clouds, so we chose to travel there. A great alternative would be Mount Pilatus as well!

From the Lucerne main train station, we took a train to the Alpine town of Engelberg, and then a short bus ride to the foot of Mount Titlis. Then, multiple cable cars including a the Rotair, a rotating cable car with 360-degree views of the surroundings.

We had incredibly CRISPY views of the surrounding mountain ranges and everything was clear as it could possibly get from up there! very very lucky

There were also several attractions at the top including a cliff walk along a suspension bridge, a chairlift, and also a visit to the ice-cold glacier cave.

Coming down from Titlis we arrived at Lake Trubsee, with a beautiful turquoise colour. A super peaceful and family friendly spot where you could rent boats or just bask in the sun with cowbells in the distance. There were many people enjoying some family time together along the lake.

Everything costed us 48 CHF per person.

Day 2B: Stoos & Fronalpstock

We visited the beautiful car-free town mountain village of Stoos, also included in the Swiss Travel Pass.

We headed to the Stoosbahn, the world’s steepest funicular ride to the village of Stoos. And then a chairlift from Stoos to Fronalpstock for an incredible sunset view.

Normally, people would go on the really popular Stoos Ridge Hike to/from Fronalpstock and Klingenstock. However we didn’t have enough time to complete the hike. On Saturdays, the chairlift from Stoos to Fronalpstock has extended opening hours for visitors to head to Fronalpstock during sunset times.

Be sure to check this out if you are visiting Stoos on a Saturday!
