“What a great experience with incredibly helpful staff and amazing scenery. The views are stunning and there is plenty to see whilst up there. There are shops and restaurants at various points too.

“The view of the snow covered Alps above the clouds was spectacular. It was even more impressive coming out of the clouds on the cable car into the winter wonderland. The boat ride around Lake Lucerne was interesting but could have avoided an embarrassing moment. We did not know our cruise tickets were for the 2nd class lounge and we asked to leave the 1st class lounge! As Americans we did not know!”
