Rigi, the Queen of the Swiss Mountains, Lake Cruise and Cable Car

 

Join us for an epic full-day partly-guided tour on land, water and air to Mount Rigi, from where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable. Highlights - Take in the unforgettable landscapes of the Swiss Alps - Embark on a panoramic train ride between Rigi Kaltbad and Rigi Kulm - Relax on a 1-hour scenic cruise along Lake Lucerne From Zurich we will take you on a scenic coach journey through picturesque countryside and along the shores of the Lake of the Four Forested Cantons (as Lake Lucerne is romantically called in German). Next, continue on to Weggis, the picture-postcard lakeside village nestling at the foot of the 1,800-metre-high Mount Rigi. In Weggis, the tour guide will arrange the tickets for you and will make sure you are ready for your adventure at Mt. Rigi. Take the cable car to Rigi Kaltbad, where you will hop aboard Europe’s oldest mountain railway for a panoramic journey to Rigi Kulm. Enjoy breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains and 13 lakes. During the summer you can hike to the summit or in the winter, you can hire a sledge. The descent involves yet another adventure as you board a rack railway (25% gradient) to reach the idyllic hamlet of Vitznau, which occupies a narrow strip of land between the lake and the mountain. In Vitznau, board a ferry for a scenic one-hour lake cruise to Lucerne. You will then have some time to explore the narrow streets of the Old Town of Lucerne at your own leisure; admire the frescoed façades, fairytale turrets, and marvel at the wooden Chapel Bridge. Later, meet again with your guide at the agreed meeting point in Lucerne for the return trip to Zurich.
