I'm with Slimwilly on this, there are lots of fantastic roads in Switzerland (and many to the south of Lucerne/Luzern) not least the Sustenpass.
But......... A must in Switzerland is to take a day and do the Pilatus Kulm round-trip........... Start with a Gondola ride from the Pilatus station in Lucerne, to the foot of the mountain (and the summer toboggan run - great fun), then cable car over huge drop and on up to the top of the mountain (at +7,000ft). Sight-see and climb at the top - scary cliff edge paths and open staircases across the rock face. Have lunch in the mountain-top hotel, watching para gliders jump over the edge, Then journey down the other side on the worlds steepest railway (carriages are built with stepped seating as it travels down on a 45 degree slope). At the bottom of the mountain, the train stops by the lakeside where you transfer onto the ship for a cruise around Lake Lucerne and back to the start in Lucerne town itself.
Look here for details www.pilatus.ch/en/railway-cableways/golden-round-trip/
Totally memorable awesome trip, well worth the price.
