Descend via cable car to Kriens and take a public bus (ticket included in tour) back to Lucerne, where your tour finishes.

Treat the chocoholics in your family to a whirlwind ride at Lucerne’s Swiss Chocolate Adventure — an attraction at the Swiss Museum of Transport. Aboard a chocolate cube car, you’ll enjoy a 30-minute multimedia and sensory experience to learn all about the sugary treat. Breathe in the warm scent of cocoa, watch a short film to learn how chocolate is made, and finish with a complimentary sample to keep your sweet tooth sated.

After meeting your driver at your Lucerne accommodation, you’ll relax before your onward flight with route and traffic considerations left to a local professional.

Take a tandem paragliding flight from Lucerne and gaze out over the Swiss Alps from the sky. With a professional paragliding instructor by your side who will take care of the navigation, you can focus on the thrill of the flight. No experience or a high level of fitness is required, just an interest in adventure and a desire to discover the landscapes of Lucerne.

The snow-capped mountains around Lucerne are hard to resist, but without a car, skis, or even the know-how to ski, a mountain trip may seem a hassle.

A quick stop in Interlaken and free time in Grindelwald village complete the day.

Ascending Mt. Pilatus, Lucerne's landmark mountain, is a must-do when you are in the Lake Lucerne region. For maximum flexibility, choose between a ride on the world's steepest cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, or a combination of a gondola and an aerial cableway from Kriens. Then, enjoy spectacular views of Lake Lucerne and the Alps that you don’t see otherwise from 6,995 feet (2,132 meters) above sea level.
