This is a favourite trip for all ages, taking in some lovely walks. Start in Treib and take the funicular up to Seelisberg. From here you can walk to Emmetten and take the cable car to Stockhütte. Enjoy a mountain walk to Klewenalp, then the steep cable car down to Beckenried, where the lake cruisers will transport you home.

Lake Seeli

An idyllic mountain lake close to Seelisberg. The water can reach temperatures of up to 24°C in summer, perfect for swimming in the beach area as well as boating.
