Lucerne, the heart of Central Switzerland, captivates with its unique combination of Alpine panorama, rich culture and modern infrastructure. Nestled between Lake Lucerne and majestic mountains such as Rigi, Pilatus and Stanserhorn, the city offers an incomparable backdrop for the fifth CISM Military World Winter Games 2025. As a host, Lucerne has everything it takes to stage a major sporting event: first-class competition facilities, excellent transport links and short distances between the venues. The region impresses with its ideal location and optimal conditions for winter sports disciplines. A well-developed public transportation network underscores the sustainable concept of the games, and the proximity to world-famous winter sports destinations makes Lucerne an ideal starting point. But Lucerne offers much more than sporting opportunities.

The charming old town, the world-famous Chapel Bridge and numerous cultural highlights create a welcoming atmosphere that inspires athletes and guests from all over the world. With a rich tradition in international sports, including events such as the «Lucerne Regatta» and «Spitzenleichtathletik Luzern», Lucerne has long since established itself as a competent and passionate host city. The 2025 Military World Winter Games will once again put Lucerne in the international spotlight and show how sports, culture and nature blend in perfect harmony to create an unforgettable experience.
