Trail tip for the weekend: Renggpass & Bürgenstock

At the weekend, the Föhn will be a guest in Switzerland. In other words: cloudy in the south, sunny in the north. This is a good opportunity for a trail trip to Lucerne. For example to the Renggpass on the Lopper and to the Bürgenstock. Two excellent singletrail tours with a city connection.

Many people know the Lopper from the traffic news - there are regular traffic jams in the tunnel near Lucerne. However, a first-class mountain bike route with one of the region's most famous singletrail descents leads across it. Combined with the Seewligrat ridge on the opposite side of the Bürgenstock, this route is a great spring tour with permanent views of Lake Lucerne and the snow-covered Central Swiss Alps. Ideally, you should start the tour in Hergiswil and reach the village easily by train directly from Lucerne main station. If you want to build up some basic fitness in spring, you can cycle on the cycle paths from Lucerne city center via Kriens and Horw to Hergiswil - 8 more or less flat kilometers.

Weather for German-speaking Switzerland at the weekend

On Saturday, it will be mostly sunny, with more extensive high cloud fields gathering towards the north at times, with daytime highs of around 19 degrees. Sunday, on the other hand, will be 26 degrees thanks to the Föhn wind and it will be mostly sunny.
