Hike to a Secret Lake Near Lucerne, Switzerland
The best tours and experiences are those that are unique, which is why this private day trip with Roberto from Lucerne to a secret lake needs to be on your Switzerland bucket list. You’ll spend the day riding a gondola, going on an easy hike, and eating fondue with views of cows, mountains, green grass, and the stunning lake.
Getting to the Meeting Point
Your guide, Roberto, picks you up from your hotel in the morning, making it incredibly easy to start the tour. It’s a 45 minute drive to the gondola that will take you up to the top of a mountain. From here, it’s an easy 30 minute down-hill hike (really a walk) to get to the secret lake.
The Experience
On the drive from Lucerne to the gondola, you’ll get to know your tour guide, Roberto. He’s a local who lives and breathes Switzerland and knows all of the best places to show his clients both in and out of the main tourist destinations.
Once you arrive at the gondola, you’ll ride it up to the top of a mountain, taking in the gorgeous Swiss views on the way. When you get off, it’s an incredibly easy walk to get to the “secret lake” where you’ll stop to enjoy a fondue picnic, have time to get photos, and just relax and enjoy the peaceful beauty that Switzerland has to offer.
After lunch, it’s a 45 minute drive to another gondola that you’ll take back down the mountain and then return to Lucerne.
Takeaway
If you’re looking to spend the day with a local and see some of the best hidden gems of Switzerland, you will love a day trip to the secret lake with Roberto. It was one of the highlights of my trip.
