View of Lake Lucerne from the Bürgenstock Felsenweg

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the Bürgenstock you can enjoy a very beautiful all-round view of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains.
At the lift from the Bürgenstock there is the Hammetschwand self-service restaurant with stone tables and benches and in summer you can have a picnic etc. on the adjacent meadow and enjoy the wonderful view.

Bürgenstock Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view on all sides. When there is fog, you are almost on an island surrounded by fog. You can then enjoy the mountain panorama on all sides. There is also a small hut. You can hike up or take the Hammetschwand lift from the Felsenweg. In good weather you can also see Lake Lucerne.

November 1, 2025,Bürgenstock Aussichtspunkt – St. Jost Kapelle Runde von Ennetbürgen
Today, November 1st, 2025, I went on a beautiful autumn hike with some very scenic viewpoints. I started from Ennetbürgen via Zinggli, then along Golfstrasse to Bürgenstock Resort, and along Felsenweg to Hammetschwand, where I reached a lovely viewpoint at an altitude of 1120 meters overlooking Lake Lucerne.
