What travelers are saying

The gorge is amazing and what I liked is to travel on the wooden hanging trail and close to the west entrance to pass through a gorge which is few meter wide.

The gorge itself is amazing, many written facts and stories on the way, the trail passes through tunnels with some view points, between huge rocks and a wooden walkway just above the rushing water.

It was amazing walk through the magnificent aare gorge.

How long does it take to visit the Gorge? I was thinking of in the summer making a day of seeing Aareslucht, the Reichenbach falls, and then going down to the Gelmersee. Is this too much one day if I am staying in Luzern?

February 25, 2019|

AnswerShow all 4 answers

We did Reichenbach and A are gorge comfortably in one day. It does take about 2 hours to walk the Aare gorge but this leaves no time for lòking at the sights and I treating points along the way.
