Elevated alpine sanctuary.
Perched high above Lake Lucerne, Waldhotel by Bürgenstock pairs striking architecture with a serene alpine setting in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Part of the Bürgenstock Resort, the retreat offers sweeping mountain views and easy access to both lakeside escapes and outdoor adventures year-round.
Insider Tip

Arrive in style via the MS Bürgenstock Catamaran from Lucerne to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock, followed by a ride on the Bürgenstock Funicular, Switzerland's first electric cable car which takes you directly to the heart of the resort.

Where You’re Staying

Modern rooms reflect the surrounding landscape with natural textures and tranquil views. Each features a balcony or terrace facing the forest. A soft, earthy palette enhances timber and stone finishes that carry through to serene, spa-like bathrooms.

Where to Dine

Savor a variety of global cuisines across the resort. Spices presents vibrant Asian cuisine, while Verbena highlights seasonal dishes in a contemporary setting. Restaurant Taverne focuses on Swiss specialties, and Oak Grill & Pool Patio showcases nose-to-tail and farm-to-table fare. End the evening with a cocktail at Lakeview Bar.

Where to Relax

Unwind at the Waldhotel Spa, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame alpine views. Relax with a massage or scrub, or try the hydrothermal circuit which includes saunas and cold plunges. Sign up for an outdoor yoga class or break a sweat in the fitness center.

What to Do

The sprawling resort offers tennis, golf, hiking and biking. Watch a film at the resort’s private cinema or enjoy a summer concert during the Bürgenstock Festival. Try a cooking class, blend botanical gins or sign up for a helicopter ride above the Swiss Alps for a vineyard tour. Explore Lucerne and don’t miss the Hammetschwand Lift, the highest outdoor elevator in Europe.
