Armin has climbed the Great Myth more than 4,600 times and knows the mountain like the back of his hand. Whether in the dark, to watch the sunrise on the summit, by day to bring the mail to the Mythen hut or simply to enjoy the mountain and the view — Armin climbs the summit several times a day. Let yourself be fascinated by the mountain and join us on the Great Myth.
For the challenging hike, you will need some alpine experience, good footwear, and sure-footedness, then you can get started. From the Brunni-Holzegg mountain station, you will climb up the 47 hairpin bends to the summit. You will certainly meet the myth-man — you will probably bump into Armin when you are strengthing yourself at the Mythen hut with delicious nut and almond peaks, if not before. Oh and if you meet the 74-year-old on the way, try your best to keep up with him: it takes him about 40 minutes to ascend — the average hiker one hour and 20 minutes...
But, there is much more to discover and experience around Lucerne than just the Great Myth. That's why we've put together ten experiences in the region in this Collection. Whether you are looking to hike long distances or just for the day, you will find the right experience for you in Lucerne: from scenic tightrope hikes to leisure lakeside strolls, hikes for foodies or with a cable car ride.
