sunset spots in Nidwalden
Candle Light Dinner on the Niederbauen
Dinner on the Niederbauen - a romantic and beautiful candlelight dinner, sunset with glowing sunbeams and a breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne. What could be better? From around 10.00pm to 00.30am, it's back down to the valley. If you want to marvel at the marvellous sunrise the next morning, you can spend the night in the Niederbauen mountain inn. Booking required.
Candle Light Dinner on the Stanserhorn
In the serviced revolving restaurant you can enjoy the sunset with a 360-degree panorama. All the ingredients for the 4-course dinner are sourced from the region and the Alps. Tip: It's worth travelling to the Stanserhorn a little earlier to climb to the summit and enjoy the gigantic view.
Bürgenstock Sunset
The day comes to a cosy end with a cool drink and a warm fire. The journey is easy via shuttle boat from Lucerne and funicular railway to the Bürgenstock Resort. Alternatively, you can take the Zentralbahn railway to Stansstad and then the bus to the resort.
rays of sunshine on Lake Alpnach
Directly on Lake Alpnach, on the water lily path in Stansstad. Thanks to the high Pilatus mountain massif, the sun's rays can be seen particularly well at sunset. Lake Alpnach is popular for fishing trips and wakeboarding. With a bit of luck, you might catch a fisherman as a photo subject.
sunset cruise on Lake Lucerne
A boat trip into the sunset accompanied by a fine meal and delicious drinks. The two-and-a-half-hour culinary cruise takes place on the new motor vessel MS Diamant or a steamboat. Just before the sun disappears behind the horizon, it is worth taking a short detour to the outside deck. With the wind in your hair and the best view of the impressive play of colours, you can experience the natural spectacle up close. From June to September. Booking required.
