Klewenalp ​Stockhütte Lift System

Dramatic lakeside ascent defines Klewenalp-Stockhütte's lift system, where cable cars rise directly from Lake Lucerne's shores to panoramic mountain terrain in minutes. Thirteen installations efficiently serve both Klewenalp and Stockhütte sectors, with recent modernization improving capacity while respecting the area's environmental sensitivity.

Season Info

The winter transformation of Klewenalp-Stockhütte typically extends from December through March, with particularly consistent conditions from January through mid-March. The area benefits from its elevated position above Lake Lucerne, frequently rising above low-lying fog that sometimes blankets the lake surface during winter inversions. Modern snowmaking complements natural precipitation across key sectors, ensuring reliable coverage throughout the season. The predominantly north and east-facing slopes maintain good snow quality, while the lake's thermal influence sometimes moderates extreme cold periods. The seasonal progression creates interesting meteorological dynamics, with early season often delivering atmospheric conditions where skiers descend through cloud layers toward the lake below, while late winter brings increasing sunshine perfect for appreciating the area's remarkable panoramic views across Switzerland's most celebrated mountain-and-lake landscape.
