Lopper, Mountain and archaeological site in Hergiswil, Switzerland

Lopper reaches an elevation of 961 meters with steep slopes dropping 500 meters to Lake Lucerne and Lake Alpnach on both sides.

The federal state of Switzerland supported the construction of the first road around Lopper in 1848, connecting previously isolated regions through mountain passages.

The Lopper Chapel, constructed between 1964 and 1965 on the eastern slope, marks the completion of local infrastructure projects in the region.

The mountain features the Loppertunnel, opened in 1984, which connects to the A8 motorway leading toward Sarnen and the Brünig Pass.

The underwater section near Lopper contains diverse aquatic life, including perch, pike, and eels, making it a notable diving location in Lake Lucerne.
