Willisau

Willisau lies west of Sursee in the canton of Lucerne and is well connected in terms of transport. The town is surrounded by gentle hills, meadows, and agricultural land. Its well-preserved historic town centre, featuring ring walls, towers, and fountains, shapes the local character. The Obertor gate and city walls recall its medieval past. Willisau developed early into a regional market and administrative hub. To this day, the town plays an important role for the surrounding area.

“We really enjoyed the city tour. Even as "almost locals," we learned a lot of new things. Ms Kocher was very knowledgeable and took us on an exciting journey.”

“I decided to do this after seeing the paragliders land in Interlaken, and i was on my first solo trip so thought why not! I was nervous beforehand, but my pilot, Robin, put me at ease and was very kind. It’s actually a peaceful experience (we did do one fun trick which i loved, and you can ask for more if you want a thrill), and the views are incredible. We flew for quite a long time due to the thermals. I recommend to anyone :) no experience needed!”
