Lido-Hallenbad Weggis

Lido Weggis is located on Hertensteinstrasse, right on the shore of Lake Lucerne. The lido opened in 1919 and is considered the first open-air pool in Switzerland where women and men were allowed to bathe together — a scandal at the time, later a model for many bathing facilities. In addition to the lake bath, the facility owned by the municipality of Weggis includes an indoor pool with a 25 m basin.

Until autumn 2026 the indoor pool had a small wellness area with a Finnish sauna (85 °C), steam bath (45 °C) and relaxation zone, which operated each year from October to April. Since 18 October 2026 the Lido indoor pool has been closed for a complete renovation costing 11.5 million francs: the technical systems, load-bearing structure and pool hall are being refurbished, and a toddler area as well as a new entrance and catering wing are being added.

Reopening is planned for summer 2028. Whether the renovated pool will have a sauna again is still open: in the 2024 planning the municipal council intended to do without the previous sauna, and the municipality’s current project description no longer mentions a sauna. Opening hours and prices for the renovated pool have not yet been published.
