Music salon. Electric lighting. Shady park with 400 m of shoreline and magnificent all-round views. Choice cuisine…” according to the brochure available at the time.
In 1979 the Park-Hotel Nidwaldnerhof was torn down and today’s Nidwaldnerhof was built in its place. From that point on the brochures read, “The paradise on the Lake. Our terrace offers 120 guests a fantastic view of the lake and mountains.
Conservatory romanticism with a lakeside view, seating 40 guests. Our hotel rooms are furnished in a modern style, with shower/WC, TV, telephone, radio alarm and mini-bar. The Hotel Nidwaldnerhof is centrally located with direct access to the A2.
The unforgettable location remains the same, and yet a few things have changed. We, Claudia und Rolf Stucki-Frutig, took over the Nidwaldnerhof in 2004, to become its new owners.
In 2011 all the lakeside rooms were renovated and in 2013 the restaurant was completely modernised, the remaining rooms were tastefully renovated and three comfortable suites were installed in the attic (formerly the Panorama Saloon).
We have invested our love and passion in today’s Nidwaldnerhof. We are sincerely committed to the region, which is also reflected in our fresh and honest cuisine. Our family, including Sven and Jan, feels at home here and firmly rooted. Our employees are part of our family and this is clearly noticeable in the Nidwaldnerhof.

The city of Lucerne with numerous sights
The Lake Lucerne region, with the world-famous city of Lucerne and idyllic holiday resorts all around the lake, offers a great variety of holiday experiences.
There is room here for the avant-garde in the form of the KKL Luzern (Lucerne’s Culture and Conference Centre) by Jean Nouvel, as well as for sights that have lasted for centuries.
The museums, theatres and festivals perfectly cover tradition and trend, archaic customs and high-tech, turning Lucerne into a first-class city of culture and festivals. Enjoy unforgettable excursions on a paddle steamer on Lake Lucerne or top up with nature pure and simple in the accessible nearby mountains.
Optimum prospects in the Lake Lucerne region
The landscape is moulded by the unmistakeable Lake Lucerne, the mountains and spectacular nature. The region’s popular tourist mountains have a long tradition and offer open views into the world of the mountains. For example Europe’s first rack railway winds up the Rigi, and the world’s steepest rack railway leads up onto the Pilatus.
If you yield to the call of fun and games in the everlasting snow, you must ride in the world’s first rotating cable car, the Rotair, to summit of mount Titlis; at over 3,000 m this is the highest viewpoint in the adventure region of Lake Lucerne.
The CabriO® Bahn, the world’s first double-decker cable car with an open top deck, has been in operation on the Stanserhorn since 2012. Many other cable cars provide access to no less impressive mountain viewpoints in our region.
A first class view of the breathtaking landscape can also be obtained from Europe’s largest inland waterway fleet on Lake Lucerne.

Urban experience
Centuries-old sights such as the Chapel Bridge, the Musegg Wall, the Lion Monument or the historic old town form a striking contrast to modern Lucerne: the avant-garde KKL Luzern, the wealth of restaurants and an attractive range of shops.
The Festival City of Lucerne is equally impressive all year round: blues, jazz, rock, comics or the colourful carnival. The classic programme of the Lucerne Festival with its world-famous protagonists is a well-respected affair.
The Rosengart Collection, the natural monuments in the Glacier Garden or the Museum of Transport are among the highlights of our cultural offering. Immerse yourself in the city, stroll along the quays and get to know the legendary charm of Lucerne on one of our guided city tours.
The Klewenalp
The cable car takes you effortlessly into a widely varied paradise for walkers and sightseers. Arriving at the top, you are faced with a fantastic panorama. The hiking or bike trails lead through unspoilt Alpine flora in the unique mountain world above Lake Lucerne.

Our secret tip is a pleasant stroll (1 hour) to visit “Silbi” in the tepee village. His cheese sandwiches and “äs Chacheli Kafi-Schnaps” in his Alpine cabin are legendary.
Another option full of variety is the Goldi Family Safari from Klewenalp via Seelisberg with five different means of transport. After the cable car ride up the Klewenalp, the tour leads on foot trough meadows pine forest for around 1.5 hours to the Stockhütte.
The trip back down Emmetten in the gondola lift offers a chance to relax. The tour continues by Post Bus to Seelisberg and by funicular railway and boat back to Beckenried.
Skiing
In the winter the familiar Klewenalp-Stockhütte skiing region opens up ten facilities and 30 km of ski and snowboard pistes of varying levels of difficulty between 1600 m and almost 2000 m.
From the Klewenalp with its ski school, crèche and 15 km of winter hiking trails, the longest sled run in Central Switzerland, 9 km long and with a height difference of 850 m, leads via the Stockhütte to Emmetten.
