Summer

The fjord-like tips of the Urnersee promise lots sailing and swimming fun, while the surrounding countryside is an unforgettable cycling experience. There are rewarding excursions to Rigi and the Bürgenstock, the Muotathal with its cave, Treib-Seelisberg, the Stoos-Fronalpstock, the Goldau zoo, and the towns of Schwyz, Zug, Lucerne and Altdorf.

Keen walkers should include a few stages of the ‘Swiss Trail’ around the Urnersee: it begins at Rütli, the birthplace of the Federation of Swiss Cantons 1291, and ends in Brunnen. There are scheduled boats at each of the towns along the trail for the return journey. Strong cyclists will enjoy the 40 km tour around Mythen.
A wide range of accommodation, wellness and sports facilities await on the sunny terrace of Morschach above Brunnen. Have pure unadulterated fun in the whirlpool, wild-water stream, children’s pool with a 100-metre chute, and a large sports centre. The wellness oasis includes a Roman-Irish thermal bath, brine bath, invigorating herbal baths, massage, fitness and beauty centres.
