Lucerne Carnivalthe most beautiful masquerade ball in Switzerland

Can Lake Lucerne really match the carnivalesque spirit of the Rhine and Main? Of course, and then some! After all, the increasingly popular ‘Guggen’ carnival music heard in Cologne and Mainz has its origins here. Colourful wooden masks and whimsical disguises set the scene across the street gatherings and numerous festivals held to wave a loud and raucous goodbye to the winter.
