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.

“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“Everything about it was perfect. The instructors were so nice and took my fear away long before the flight. I loved it so much and am really glad I spent my first experience with them.”
