Lake Lucerne offers some of Switzerland's most fantastic views. The glittering lake stretches for 44 square miles with sweet villages and the city of Lucerne on its shores. You can spend your trip hiking around the deep, famously blue water, experiencing the lake on a cruise, or staying at any number of fantastic hotels to take in the scenery. Whether you're an outdoorsy type or would rather sit lakeside with a cup of tea, Lake Lucerne is a good choice for first-timers in Switzerland.
In September, the outdoor adventure website Kühl released its list of the most outdoorsy states in the U.S. To understate which state loves to get out for a hike, bike, or a camp most, the team analyzed Google search data for 14 outdoor activities, including fishing, backpacking, birding, skiing, swimming, and kayaking, across each state between August 2024 to August 2025. It then adjusted the results per 100,000 residents to accurately compare populations.
