The panoramic trail is very easy to walk, although it's also graveled for a long stretch... not always easy with a stroller 😂 You can also take several paths parallel to the main trail, but these are, of course, only intended for hiking and are not wheelchair accessible. For example, the Felsenweg offers beautiful views of Lake Lucerne 👍
