Mount PilatusTowering over Lucerne, the “Dragon’s Lair” is one of Central Switzerland’s most mythical places. And one of its most beautiful. On a clear day, it offers visitors a panoramic view of no less than 73 Alpine peaks.

InterlakenFor decades now, its one-of-a-kind location between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and at the foot of the magnificent triple peaks of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau has made this town both a dream destination and a point of departure for visitors from around the world.

Schilthorn – Piz GloriaAt 2970 meters above sea level, the Schilthorn provides visitors with a breathtaking 360-de-gree panoramic view of the Swiss skyline, including Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Lake BrienzThis turquoise lake, beautifully framed by the magnificent mountains of the Jungfrau area, offers its waters to both thrill seekers (Jetboat ride, anyone?) and more relaxed visitors who may prefer an outing on the vintage Belle- époque paddle steamer “Lötschberg”, built in 1914.
