Lake Lucerne, also known as the "lake of the four forested settlements", is one of the most magical regions in Switzerland. Its shoreline rises steeply into tall mountains.

During clear weather, you can spot the icy peaks of Mount Pilatus, the Tomlishorn that stands at 6,983 feet (2,128.5 meters).

Bürgenstock Resort is perched on a cliff right opposite the most populous city of Central Switzerland.

Its buildings were constructed atop the Bürgenberg mountain ridge, 1,640 feet (500 meters) above the lake.
