LILU – Light & Magic outside your door

January 15th to january 25th 2026

Enjoy an atmospheric evening at the Lucerne Light Festival (LILU) – with a culinary prelude right on the Reuss river, followed by a stroll through the illuminated old town.

The evening begins at the Restaurant Des Alpes, where you will be welcomed with an aperitif. We will then serve you a carefully prepared 3-course menu with regional influences, freshly prepared with love.

The Hotel Des Alpes offers a location that is hard to beat: directly opposite the Chapel Bridge, one of the central venues of the festival, you can enjoy the light installations from the front row – without having to walk anywhere or deal with the hustle and bustle. Many of LILU’s highlights can be easily explored on foot, including the Jesuit Church in Lucerne, which is only a five-minute walk from the hotel.
