February 27, 2026,Von Stansstad nach Bürgenstock

The climb was quite warming, but we were rewarded with fantastic views of both Lake Lucerne and the snow-covered Swiss Alps. And for February, we had a wonderfully sunny and warm day. The plan was actually to include a boat trip and a visit to Lucerne, but the beautiful weather kept us lingering on the mountain for much longer.

This time a hike 🥾 on the Bürgenstock, with very warm/hot 🌡 & beautiful weather ☀️.
From the Bürgenstock, it goes towards the Felsenweg with a dreamlike view of Lake Lucerne & the surrounding mountains.

The Bürgenstock is a 1128 m high mountain in the Uri Alps on Lake Lucerne in the canton of Nidwalden.

We would like to take advantage of the initially sunny weather and start from Stansstad train station 🚉 in the direction of Bürgenstock. The ascent is steep and stretches across single trails up to the Schiltflue. As a reward we get a great view of Lake Lucerne and enjoy the food we brought with us.
We continue to the Bürgenstock …
