Since then the Lucerne Regatta Association organises Regattas in Lucerne, which since 1933 are taking place on the Lake Rotsee. Therefore the Lucerne Regatta Association and Lucerne Regatta are writing sport- and rowing history for more than 100 years. 1962 the Lake Rotsee was the venue of the first Rowing World Championship ever and three editions of this event followed 1974, 1982 and 2001. In ad
dition to that four Rowing European Championships took place in Lucerne and the annual Swiss Championships are also hosted on the Lake Rotsee. The “Naturarena Rotsee” organization was founded in 2010. Its aim is to ensure a successful future for rowing in Lucerne. The key is modernization of the lakeside infrastructure in harmony with the Rotsee’s role as a special conservancy and leisure area. With a budget of 16 million francs, the step-by-step project reaches final completion this May. The result will be a unique combination of world class rowing venue and nature reserve.
