Rigi

Standing tall and pretty at 1800 m, Rigi is also fondly known as the ‘Queen of the Swiss mountains’. When in Rigi, watching the sun rising and setting beyond the horizon of Lake Lucerne can send you into a deep state of trance. And if that wasn’t enough, the brilliant views of Titlis, Jungfrau, Zugarsee and Arth Goldau will take your breath away. This marvel cannot possibly be missed especially if you happen to be a hiker. While getting to Rigi can seem slightly intimidating and complicated, it isn’t actually so. A Classic Rigi Round Trip which includes a ferry, a cogwheel railway and a cable car can be a lot more fun than you’d have imagined. A boat trip on the pristine Lake Lucerne brings you to the resort of Vitznau followed by a cable car that gets you to the top of the mountain. While the possibility is extremely rare, if in case you are actually tired of looking around and eating authentic Swiss food to your heart’s content, come down to Weggis from an aerial cable car and take the boat back to Lucerne. Mount Rigi’s official website has all the information you might need about your trip.
