Lucerne and the four forest cantons
Eight days of lake and myth: Lucerne, the Chapel Bridge, Weggis, Rigi, Pilatus, the Axenstrasse, Brunnen, Schwyz. Tesla in Lucerne; cog railways eat the altitude so the battery does not.
Season: Lake roads year-round. Rigi and Pilatus railways typically April-November; winter sports change the summit. Axenstrasse galleries can close for rockfall.
