Schimbrig, Mountain summit in Lucerne, Switzerland

Schimbrig is a mountain in the Emmental Alps in the canton of Lucerne, reaching 1815 metres above sea level. Its long ridge runs from southwest to northeast, continuing over the Schafmatt toward the Schrattenfluh. It drops northwest toward Schimbrig Bad and southeast toward the Entlental, where the pass road to Glaubenberg runs.

In the 1800s, a spa resort called Schimbrig Bad was built at the mountain's base to take advantage of a natural sulphur spring. The complex was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.

The name Schimbrig Bad recalls the sulphur spring first mentioned at the mountain in 1782 by pastor Joseph Xaver Schnyder von Wartensee. Water was bottled and sold from the early 19th century, and in 1854 Peter Thalmann of Schüpfheim bought the springs and built the spa house. The resort burned down in the early 20th century.

The mountain can be approached via multiple hiking trails suited to different ability levels. Visitors should be prepared for alpine conditions and wear sturdy footwear depending on the season.

The ridge runs from southwest to northeast, continuing over the Schafmatt toward the Schrattenfluh. On its northwest side it drops toward Schimbrig Bad, and on the southeast toward the Entlental, the valley carrying the pass road to the Glaubenberg.
