Wilhelm Tell Express Photos

From: Wilhelm Tell Express

The Wilhelm Tell Express itinerary starts in Lucerne or in Locarno, depending on whether you've chosen a southbound or northbound departure. In this article, we'll begin at Lucerne with a morning departure on a vintage paddlewheel steamer of the Schifffahrtsgesellschaft Vierwaldstättersee or SGV, a.k.a. the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company.

The boat's landing stage is just outside the Lucerne railroad station, which faces the Vierwaldstättersee (Lake of the Four Forest Cantons, also known as Lake Lucerne). This is the same place where boats leave for Mt. Pilatus and other points along the lake, so make sure you're boarding the correct boat.
