The Bürgenstock Felsenweg and the Hammetschwand Lift are currently closed.
The Hammetschwand viewpoint can be reached via the hiking trails.
The reopening will be in spring 2021, depends on the snow and weather conditions (expected end of may 2021). As soon as the Felsenweg and the Hammetschwand Lift are opened, this will be communicated here.
The Felsenweg was built between 1900 and 1905 and leads high above Lake Lucerne from Bürgenstock Resort to the Känzeli view point. It is accessible during the summer months from about May to October. The dates of opening in spring and closing in autumn are communicated on www.felsenweg.ch.
