What makes Mount Rigi Day Trip from Lucerne a unique experience ?
The tour starts with a relaxing cruise to Vitznau on the picturesque Lake Lucerne.
Upon arrival in Vitznau, change to the cogwheel train to reach the top, Rigi Kulm. Enjoy some time at your disposal to explore one of the many hiking trails, take a moment of silence at the Rigi Kulm mountain chapel, or have a bite to eat at one of the restaurants.
Continue to the car-free village of Rigi Kaltbad by cogwheel train and walk around the village square, where you will spot the Mineralbad & Spa designed by the renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta – a true jewel for architecture lovers! 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 the stunning views of Lake Lucerne. Take a short walk downhill to the boat station of Weggis, once referred to by Mark Twain (1897) as the “most charming place” and capture the breathtaking view from the Lucerne Riviera with your camera.
