For centuries, the healing qualities of Alpine air have drawn people to the mountains for physical and mental rejuvenation. Bürgenstock Hotels & Resort Lake Lucerne, nestled atop the Bürgenberg mountain ridge, epitomizes this tradition, offering a serene environment between sky and water. As the resort approaches its 150th anniversary in 2023, it continues its legacy as a globally renowned wellbeing destination.
The resort's core wellness offerings are the 10,000 sqm Alpine Spa and the Waldhotel Health & Medical Excellence. The Alpine Spa, an expanded version of the former Bürgenstock Club, was named one of the best destination spas in the world by Condé Nast Traveller in 2022. It features five pools, including a year-round outdoor infinity pool, a historic Hollywood pool, saunas, a hammam, a spa garden, a gym, and a relaxation room. Treatments incorporate top brands like Biologique Recherche, Barbara Sturm, and Swissline.
