Lucerne Region - Lake Lucerne

Realp

Realp is situated at 1,538 m above sea level at the foot of the Furka Pass in the high valley of Urseren. This area belongs to the canton of Uri. Known as the starting point of the Furka-Bahn mountain railway, Realp combines railway nostalgia with alpine authenticity. Once highly prone to avalanches, the village now features avalanche-resistant architecture with a striking protective wall and a geometric layout. Surrounded by pristine alpine landscapes, you can find hiking trails and a 9-hole golf course in summer. You can also explore the Furka, Gotthard, and Oberalp passes. In winter, a family-friendly ski lift invites you to enjoy the slopes.

“The pedal boat breakfast was suuuuper! Everything was lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. Spending time on the lake was just pure enjoyment. We’d love to come again or try one of the other Momentized experiences. Thanks so much from the heart for this wonderful experience.”

“Great to enjoy with family when the weather is nice, it’s even better! A proper walk and plenty of fresh air. Just make sure to plan more than an afternoon if you want to do everything or come back.”
