The Schimbrig is a mountain of the Emmental Alps, located in the municipality of Hasle in the canton of Lucerne.

In the nineteenth century a tourist resort was established at the foot of the mountain where a natural sulphur spring surfaces. The resort Schimbrig Bad was successful until it burnt down in a fire in the early twentieth century.
