What to do in Lido Horw? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Lido Horw can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Lido Horw you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Lido Horw implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

It’s a good place to lie down and enjoy the sunshine. However it is not the widest beach, with it’s water of course being as clean as the lake can be with reeds and everything else from nature. I would still recommend it, if you are in Horw or around the area. The entrance for an adult for the day is 5 CHF.

Great place and food, but it appears that the chef is a bit overwhelmed, leading to delays in order preparation.
