IAESTE Luzern Weekend 2007
September 01-02

Lucerne City

Lies at the end of the Lake of Lucerne - at the romantic alpin railway which connects the heart of Lucerne Valley with the international airports of Geneva and Zurich. Lucerne City is one of the 6 best tourist, culture and congress destinations world-wide - ranking behind metropolis as Paris, Rome, San Francisco, Florence and Vienna, and followed by London, Seattle, San Diego, and Venice.

Pilatus

So close to Lucerne and so easy to reach by public transport, Mount Pilatus (2132 m altitude) is the perfect peak for everyone, large or small. 2 aerial cableways, 2 hotels, 7 restaurants, the world's steepest cogwheel railway and Central Switzerland's biggest suspension rope park guarantee exciting excursions. All kinds of sports fans meet here to hike, climb, toboggan sledge, bike and sledge (6 km sledge run). Plus: events, attractions and fun galore!
