Amazing place - Needs more information

4.00One of the most amazing places I’ve ever been but if you could upload the map that’s available there people could plan much better in advance. We were very unsure where we were going until we got there and even still could have missed out on a lot of the mountain. However the place itself is 5/5 breathtaking and good you can do partial train partial hike so suitable for everyone
Relaxation at it s best with breathtaking views

5.00The spa was super clean, very relaxing, can certainly spend 5 hours of Pure peace! My husband had a massage that he really appreciated! We would recommend! Our only recommendation would be to give a little more info on how to get at the location. The meeting point was not a meeting point is was just to get to the spa…very simple when you know that…this part was a bit confusing for us…
Easier than I thought to get there, great views friendly staff

5.00My wife and I were in Lake Lucerne in early April this year. I purchased the experience without understanding how transportation to the mountain really works. Luckily our hotel concierge mapped out three different options for us. The package included the cogwheel train up to the top of the mountain, but be aware the price of transportation to the cogwheel train is not included. We decided to take the beautiful boat ride. Depending on your fitness level, I highly recommend getting off before the top and hiking as there are some magnificent views along the way with spots to take pictures/videos. Once we reached the top and enjoy the views for a bit, we walked back down, partway to where the Kaltbad spa is located. What a wonderful, relaxing and unique atmosphere. I highly recommend this excursion.
Spectacular views, a wonderful excursion

5.00Wrap up warm! The ferry leaves right outside Lucerne station. You can take any ferry that goes to Visnau, the views from the lake are spectacular. We were lucky with the weather, a bright blue sky day. The lake was like glass a very smooth journey.. The train was waiting at the station right next to the ferry drop off. A big bundle with all the fellow travellers but there was room for everybody. As the train ascends the mountain the views become more and more spectacular. The mountain was snow covered. Once at the top you can see another lake over the other sidewe didn’t spend long on the top. We walked about 35 mins down the mountain we were very impressed how clear the path was no snow, sludge or ice. It is very steep in places but not too bad you could just take the train back down to the spa. It was a very peaceful walk. The spa was a welcome break to warm up and all the pools were perfect temperatures not too busy. It’s phone free but you get a wrist band that allows you to buy drinks and charge later. Bring your own toiletries. You can hire towels and even swim costumes! Unfortunately the sauna is naked only there are private changing rooms, and open door showers. The spa is very well organised and clean. The train was waiting when we got outside and after another ferry ride back the excursion is done. It’s a good day out we were very happy and felt we had done and seen loads. Good value and I would highly recommend. Tips, wear layers and a hat, sturdy shoes (I wore trainers which were fine but my feet got cold), maybe even walking sticks, to economise bring packed lunch and drinks for the ferry, bring your own towels and toiletries.
What a great day

2.00The staff was not very helpful. The spa was hard to navigate. It became a pool setting with kids screaming and running around everywhere. Spa does not allow phone inside so was unable to read or relax on my phone.
Fantastic 🤩
