Glacier Garden Experience: Now open to blind visitors too!

Welcome to the Lucerne Glacier Garden—now blind and visually impaired visitors can also experience this geological wonderland right in the heart of the city.

Clear directions guide visitors independently to the most important locations on the grounds. Audio information aids in orientation and makes it easier to find your way around. Many exhibits are equipped with audio descriptions that can be accessed on-site at the Glacier Garden or remotely before your visit. The museum in the Schweizerhaus, the bistro, the film in the Sandstone Pavilion, the Rock World, and other attractions are also easily accessible and enjoyable in this way.
