3 Brunni Tickling PathTake the cable car to Brunni or hike from the valley to the mountain station If you opt for the latter note that the trail is very steep and only suitable for experienced hikers Starting from the mountain sta-tion there are several beautiful well-marked paths A fun thing to do is the Kitzelpfad or tickling path It starts at the mountain station of the Brunni chairlift and takes you around the idyllic Haumlrzlisee (1860 m asl) and you walk it barefoot At Ristis children will enjoy a real water adventure with lots of water activi-ties A big playground is located behind the restaurant There is also a toboggan run Children younger than 12 years ac-companied by an adult are free

Irsquod also like to thank Melanie Andres for her diligent translation and copy editing having her on the team made a huge difference in efficiency
Lastly there would be no booklet without the amazing contribution from Claudia Foertig our resident expert on things to do in and around Luzern Claudia has tested and tried EVERY SINGLE THING in this booklet and it is her knowledge and years of record keeping that have come together in print Irsquom eter-nally grateful to Susan Williamson for the introduction to Claudia

We also hope that you will acknowledge the companies who have paid for advertising in this booklet The booklet is free because of their generous contribution to Living in Luzern In particular Irsquod like to thank our Strategic Partners Business Development Lucerne MSD UBS ISOCS International School of Central Switzerland and D4 Business Village Lucerne
Irsquod also like to thank Melanie Andres for her diligent translation and copy editing having her on the team made a huge difference in efficiency
Lastly there would be no booklet without the amazing contribution from Claudia Foertig our resident expert on things to do in and around Luzern Claudia has tested and tried EVERY SINGLE THING in this booklet and it is her knowledge and years of record keeping that have come together in print Irsquom eter-nally grateful to Susan Williamson for the introduction to Claudia

3 Brunni Tickling PathTake the cable car to Brunni or hike from the valley to the mountain station If you opt for the latter note that the trail is very steep and only suitable for experienced hikers Starting from the mountain sta-tion there are several beautiful well-marked paths A fun thing to do is the Kitzelpfad or tickling path It starts at the mountain station of the Brunni chairlift and takes you around the idyllic Haumlrzlisee (1860 m asl) and you walk it barefoot At Ristis children will enjoy a real water adventure with lots of water activi-ties A big playground is located behind the restaurant There is also a toboggan run Children younger than 12 years ac-companied by an adult are free

INTRODUCTIONDear Reader
We are so glad that you are reading this booklet This is the second booklet that wwwlivinginluzerninfo has produced The first booklet Get Ready for Winter was so popular that we decided that Get Ready for Summer was the logical next step
In this booklet we have given you nearly 60 possible activities to enjoy this summer We hope that even if you canrsquot do everything you will try some-thing new this summer that you didnrsquot know about before now
We also hope that you will acknowledge the companies who have paid for advertising in this booklet The booklet is free because of their generous contribution to Living in Luzern In particular Irsquod like to thank our Strategic Partners Business Development Lucerne MSD UBS ISOCS International School of Central Switzerland and D4 Business Village Lucerne
Irsquod also like to thank Melanie Andres for her diligent translation and copy editing having her on the team made a huge difference in efficiency
Lastly there would be no booklet without the amazing contribution from Claudia Foertig our resident expert on things to do in and around Luzern Claudia has tested and tried EVERY SINGLE THING in this booklet and it is her knowledge and years of record keeping that have come together in print Irsquom eter-nally grateful to Susan Williamson for the introduction to Claudia
Have a great summer be sure to stop by the Living in Luzern website for live links to all of the things mentioned in this booklet

PERFECT DAY 1
Beautiful Hiking BBQ amp Waterfall ENGELBERG
1 The Ritz on TitlisChoose one of two stunning hikes from the valley station Titlis to Gerschnialp For a steep hike ndash not suitable for strollers ndash start to the right of the valley station Alternatively make your way from the left on a path that during winter serves as the sledding run and is walkable with a stroller A stop at Restaurant Gerschnialp-Cafeacute Ritz is optional To return to the valley from Gerschnialp rent a Trotti Bike (35 km) as an alternative to the cable car
2 Dip in Lake on TitlisTake the cable car to Truumlbsee (2nd stop) Here you can hike around the Truumlbsee in one hour Simply follow the signs for Knorrliwanderweg and read up on nutri-tion and exercise This trail is suitable for strollers and you will come across four spots along the way where you can bar-becue or have a picnic Alternatively grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants On a very hot summer day take a dip in the lake But be warned it is very cold To complete your day take the cable car back to Gerschnialp and why not return to the valley by Trotti Bike if you feel adventurous Or let the cable car take you back all the way
3 Brunni Tickling PathTake the cable car to Brunni or hike from the valley to the mountain station If you opt for the latter note that the trail is very steep and only suitable for experienced hikers Starting from the mountain sta-tion there are several beautiful well-marked paths A fun thing to do is the Kitzelpfad or tickling path It starts at the mountain station of the Brunni chairlift and takes you around the idyllic Haumlrzlisee (1860 m asl) and you walk it barefoot At Ristis children will enjoy a real water adventure with lots of water activi-ties A big playground is located behind the restaurant There is also a toboggan run Children younger than 12 years ac-companied by an adult are free
