If you stay in Lucerne then you should visit one of two mountains.
And no ‘Fear’ you can use a train to both of them, you don’t need, but you can. One ist the home mountain of Lucerne, the Pilatus and the second is the Rigi.
I visited the Rigi which the marketing people are calling ‘the queen of the mountains’. Anyway the weather was not the best, so unfortunately I have to go again . The Rigi is more a region, the whole foreground is called Rigi, meanwhile I was on the highest point the ‘Rigi Kulm’.
Also very popular is a stay overnight on the Rigi, there are several Hotels, for watching the sunset and the sunrise. So I put it on my bucket list.
