The Bürgenstock Hotels & Resorts with a total of 183 rooms includes a 5-star hotel park (member of the Leading Hotels of The World), and the 4-star Palace & Grand hotels. Four restaurants, magnificent panorama terraces and the Golf Country & Wellness Club with an Alpine foothills golf course allow visitors to mix the pleasures of being active and indulging in a little pampering.

With the opening of the funicular to the Bürgenstock in 1889 demand for accommodation on the popular 'vantage mountain' rose. A sophisticated hotel village was created and attracted visitors from all over Europe. The hotel premises also boast a late Gothic wedding chapel where to this day masses for visitors and locals are said on summer Sundays.

A seven-minute journey by funicular takes you down to Kehrsiten and lake level right by the embarkation point for cruises to excursion destinations and the city of Lucerne. The Bürgenstock hotel village is furthermore accessible via a small road from Stansstad.

The Bürgenstock offers a great many hiking options. Among the most stunning is the hike to Führigen above Stansstad with a beautiful panorama view of the lake.
