Key destinations include the historic Tellskapelle chapel on the lake shore, the charming capital Altdorf with its iconic Tell monument, and the dramatic Schöllenen Gorge with its iconic Devil's Bridge. The canton offers world-class hiking along the historic Gotthard Pass route, scenic boat cruises on Lake Lucerne, and access to the stunning Susten Pass.
