A favorite among tourists from around the globe, Lake Lucerne can be described as the world’s largest and most beautiful amusement park, putting nature at the very center of the action. This deep-blue lake is surrounded by green fields and grey mountains, whose names are instantly recognizable. The Rigi, the Pilatus and the Bürgenstock have welcomed illustrious personalities for more than a century. From great writers and artists (Mark Twain and JMW Turner) to heads of state (Queen Victoria, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter), the road to the top has always been the same: by using one of Lake Lucerne’s classic steamers before boarding a funicular all the way to the summits in order to enjoy amazing panoramas and crisp, fresh air.
Day 1 will skirt along the Axenstrasse to Altdorf, home of the legendary Swiss hero William Tell. Our Rallye will then proceed to the Gothard Pass before entering the Engadin region and ending the day in the luxury resort of Davos, a prime destination both for winter sports and world politics.
