A wooden observation tower at Lucerne’s Gletschergarten gives you a view across Lake Lucerne, the surrounding mountains and the city. The climb pairs well with the park’s geological sights, including potholes and ridges left by glaciers, and its Mirror Maze. It’s a good stop if you enjoy landscape, geology and local history. Plan for an entry fee unless you’re a Raiffeisen Bank member, who can enter free, and consider visiting from May to September when clearer weather can help with the views.
