Badi Meggen

Badi Meggen is a friendly municipal lake bath at Benzeholzplatz 1 in Meggen, a village on the shore of Lake Lucerne east of Luzern, Switzerland. The beach has a flat, easy lake entry, and the water is clear, cool and blue-green, with the gentle shelving that makes it comfortable for children and beginners. The bay is moderately sheltered, so wind is usually light and there is no surf. The character is relaxed, local and family-friendly, more of a village outing than a resort scene. Facilities include lawns for sunbathing, a children's water-play area, a raft and a water trampoline on the lake, and ping-pong and table football for older children. Changing cabins are provided, and loungers, sunshades and cabins can be rented. The bistro serves food and drinks on site. Lifeguard supervision runs daily from 10:00 to 18:00, so swimmers should keep to those hours. Entry is among the cheapest of any staffed bath near Luzern: in 2026 adults paid CHF 4 and children aged 6 to 16 paid CHF 2. The 2026 season ran from 16 May to mid-September, and the phone number is +41 41 379 71 20. Badi Meggen lies about 6 km east of Luzern station. Visitors can take a bus to Meggen Schlössli or the train to Meggen Zentrum and then walk about 200 m. From mid-May to mid-September the Seebus line 27 also runs on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, offering a scenic way to arrive by water. Meggen is also known for its lakeside promenade and parks, so a swim can be paired with a walk along the shore. The low price and easy access make it a good alternative to the busier city baths.
