LAKE  LUZERN

S G V    Summer Timetable
Advance Information - Summer 2009


PS Unterwalden will be out of service all year undertaking a major re-build

In consequence only four paddle steamers will be available for service throughout the Summer season and all Alpnachstad sailings will be by motor vessels

The SGV are taking the opportunity to revamp all their sailings with the principle route from Luzern to Flüelen being moved onto a clock-face pattern service
    xx.12 from Luzern
    xx.00 from Flüelen
Many full-length sailings will be speeded up by removal of calls at some of the smaller piers
For example...............
the traditional 11.25 Wilhelm Tell Express used to take 3h 32m
but in 2009 the equivalent 11.12 sailing will only take 2h 43m


Below is the anticipated "2009 Peak Summer Service"
(Sundays - May to September) (Weekdays - July and August)
This is extracted from the SBB "Consultation Doucment" and as such is liable to further change
Nevertheless it does give a reasonable idea of what to expect

Sundays - late May to mid-Spptember

This timetable shows the sailings included in the "SBB Consultation Document"
to be operated by paddle steamers
but names shown are based solely on 2008

All sailings are therefore liable to alteration nearer the time
(but it does give a good idea of what to basically expect in 2009)
