Winter in Lucerne: Christmas Markets, Light Festivals, and Must-Do Activities

Is Lucerne worth visiting in winter? Absolutely! In this episode, Meret Geissbühler from the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company shares why this beautiful lakeside city is a wonderful winter destination.

Discover what to expect from the winter weather, how to get around and what’s open, plus some of the seasonal events that bring the city to life, including Christmas markets, the Lucerne Light Festival and Lucerne Carnival. 

We also explore winter cruises on Lake Lucerne, mountain excursions to Rigi, Pilatus and Titlis, and the lesser-known Klewenalp.

You’ll also get suggestions for indoor activities, including the Swiss Museum of Transport, Glacier Garden and visits to Aeschbach Chocolatier and Max Chocolatier.

Tune in for plenty of inspiration for your visit to Lucerne in winter.

Happy travels,
Carolyn
