People who go to the Lucerne area usually go to Mount Rigi, Mount Pilatus and Titlis Snow Mountain. In fact, stoos is also a good choice. Of course, coming here is mainly for hiking, but the scenery is also good, you can see Lake Lucerne from another angle. This mountain is just behind Mount St. Regis and you can see Mount St. Regis.
