    Hiking

    Gersau is picturesquely situated on Lake Lucerne, nestled between steep mountains and sparkling water. The mild climate gives the town an almost southern flair. The lakeside promenade invites visitors to stroll, while historic buildings and idyllic alleyways underscore the charm of this "Riviera village" on the lake.

    Hiking

    Gersau lies on the shores of Lake Lucerne and was first mentioned in a document in 1054. Because of its special location on a slope, the place is considered very sunny and protected from the wind.
