We stayed ten days and did not want to go home. Weggis is an ideal centre for the area and has more possible excursions than you can fit into a fortnight. The hotels are comfortable and the food well above average. The staff are friendly and give a very good service. We picked the Gerbi because we did not like the idea of a block of flats (appartments)! But a block of flats the Alexander is not!! Next time we will stay there. It is modern and comfortable and has excellent views out over the lake and is away from (an admittedly quiet) road. There are many walks which are well signed and the ferries provide a comprehensive service. The lake is large - 3 hours to the far end, with many tiny villages to stop at en route. We bought a Swiss Half Fare card but for Weggis a Tell Pass would have been better value. From the Hotels the pier at Hertenstein is a more pleasant walk but there is not much in it for distance or scenery. We took nearly a week to find the Minimarket which is behind the Victoria, opposite the tall church. We spent many weeks in anticipation watching the Weggis webcams on MySwitzerland.
