Description

Rigi - Queen of the Mountains (from Lucerne)

Start your day with a relaxing one-hour cruise on picturesque Lake Lucerne to Vitznau. Change onto Europe’s first ever mountain railway dating from 1871 and set out on the journey to the top, Rigi Kulm. From 1,797 m a.s.l., let your gaze wander over the Swiss Midlands with 13 lakes and a sea of 620 Alpine peaks. Enjoy time at your disposal to explore one of the many hiking trails, to take in a moment of silence at the Rigi Kulm mountain chapel or to have a bite to eat at one of the restaurants.

Continue to the car-free village of Rigi Kaltbad by cogwheel train and take a stroll across the village square, where you will spot the Mineralbad & Spa designed by the renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta – a true jewel of architecture! Follow an easy hiking trail with a slight incline to the Känzeli viewing platform (2 km, optional) and admire the impressive Alpine ranges from a different perspective. Descend by aerial cable car and enjoy an impressive vista of pristine Lake Lucerne.

Take a short walk downhill to the pier of Weggis, once referred to by Mark Twain as the “most charming place” and capture the breathtaking view from the Lucerne Riviera with your camera. Board the boat back to Lucerne and lean back while reviewing your day in front of an incomparable natural scenery.
