Up here, a breathtaking panoramic view opens up over the Central Swiss Alps, Lake Lucerne and far beyond. The wind blows through the rocks, the clouds pass close enough to touch, and with every step you get closer to the sky. Whether sunrise, sea of fog or golden evening atmosphere - the Esel is a place for unforgettable moments.
