Kriens
Kriens is the second largest town in the Lucerne region with about 28000 inhabitants. It is located at the foot of Mount Pilatus at an altitude of 490 m above sea level. The town consists of the center with various quarters, the district of Obernau, the hamlet of Hergiswald and numerous individual farms on the mountain slope to Mount Pilatus. From Kriens, the city of Lucerne and the beautiful Lake Lucerne can be reached in a few minutes. Furthermore, the Sonnenberg lies between Kriens and Lucerne. It is sparsely wooded and benefits from its southern exposure. With the "blaue Bähnli" visitors are quickly on the Sonnenberg. From Kriens, the panorama gondola runs via Krienseregg to the Fräkmüntegg station on Mount Pilatus.

“Really great leadership!”
“A wonderfully sunny day and relaxing hours at Rigi Kaltbad Wellness. It was worth being at the spa as early as 10:30 AM, since it got very crowded in the afternoon. We’ll gladly come back – of course by boat, train, and cable car.”
“Many possibilities”
“We really enjoyed our visit yesterday - 3 August 2026. It was an interesting tour of the information exhibition, and of course, the chocolate tasting was a perfect way to end it. We recommend it to others and maybe one day you'll come for the workshop as well. We wish the Cailler team continued success in creating delicious chocolates. Adi, Daniela, and Kristbjörg, the two models from Iceland.”
“Peeking behind doors that are usually closed off is fascinating.”
