We are Karin (46) and Christian (50), married and have three children aged 18, 18 and 14 old. We work as a teacher in special education and as a helicopter military pilot. We know Switzerland pretty well and will be happy to give you ideas and good addresses so you can have a nice stay in Switzerland.
We are a family that loves sports (tennis, horseback riding, handball, jogging, beach volleyball, swimming, skiing, hiking, biking, golf, etc.) and can give you many tips so that you too can do a lot of sports, if you want to.
In summer 2024 we would like to visit the Olympic Games in Paris during 2 weeks. We have already been able to buy some tickets, now we are still looking for an accommodation as central as possible of Paris.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
We live in a beautiful and spacious house. The house is very quiet and bright. The view of the local mountain Pilatus and the sunset every evening is beautiful.
The house has 3 floors and it develops from top to bottom. At the top is the entrance, the living room, the dining room and the kitchen, and the large terrace. One floor below is the parents' area with a bedroom, a private bathroom and a dressing room and office. There is also a TV room with a comfortable sofa and even a small fridge for the beer (or soda) to go with the film. The technical room with its own washing machine, tumble dryer and a workroom is also on the same floor.
On the bottom floor there are 3 rooms with 1 bed each. For the house exchange we will use 1 room as a storage room - if not all 3 rooms are needed by the exchange family.
There are a total of 2 big screen TVs, SONOS radio throughout the house and an Xbox. There is wifi.
The house is about 600m from the nearest bus station. From there it takes 12 minutes to get to the heart of the city of Lucerne. From Lucerne you can be in Zurich or Bern in 1 hour and in Lugano / Milano in 2 hours.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is very centrally located for all kinds of excursions that you want to make in Switzerland. You can cycle to the city of Lucerne in 15 minutes, or you can take the bus. The city of Lucerne is world-famous and has an impressive cultural offering. Lake Lucerne is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Alps. Excursions to the nearest cities can be made quickly and easily with the well-developed public transport network in Switzerland.
If you want to hike, or prefer to take the cable car up a mountain, all of this is possible within 30 minutes. Since we know our way around Switzerland well, we can give you really great tips so that you don't have to visit the various sights as a "standard tourist".
If you would like to do sports, our house is perfectly located for it. You can cycle to the tennis court, the beach volleyball court or the outdoor pool in 5 minutes. Or of course to the lake! Here we have stored a SUP, which you are welcome to use. From our house you can complete great jogging routes, between 3 and 20 km of pure nature.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
There are so many options around Lucerne, we could write a book about them. It is best if you tell us your preferences, then we can give you a lot of valuable information.
We have a good network around us who are very friendly and helpful. In Switzerland, the vast majority of people speak French. Not perfect, but often in such a way that we get along well.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
We would like to find our apartment clean and tidy. We will do the same for yours.
For us, it goes without saying that we value someone else's property and take care of it. Should something happen, we stand by it and help to put things back in order.
