Diving in Vierwaldstättersee

You may know is better as Lake Lucerne, the fourth largest in Switzerland, famous for its setting fringed by the soaring Alps – here the word picturesque is an understatement. Made up of different pools of water, there is real variety here for altitude divers, covering 71km (44 miles) at an altitude of 434 meters (1,424ft). Yes, you’ll find your usual whitefish, perch and pike, but you will also have the chance to spot crayfish and eels as well as well as the freshwater cousin of the cod, the burbot.
