Have you heard of the Queen of the Alps? Discover its landscapes on this day trip to Mount Rigi, where we'll travel by boat, rack railway and cable car.

Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at pier 1 on Lake Lucerne. From here, we'll embark on a leisurely boat trip across Lake Lucerne.

After an hour's cruise, we'll disembark at the quay in Vitznau. Here, we'll board the first rack railway in Europe, dating back to 1871. The journey on this unique mode of transport, which takes just over half an hour, will end at Rigi Kulm Station, located at 1,797 metres (5,895 feet) above sea level.

Once there, you'll have 2 hours of free time on Mount Rigi to have lunch and enjoy the beautiful views of the lakes and mountains of the Swiss Alps that can be seen from here. At the indicated time, we'll meet again at Rigi Kulm Station to take the rack railway to Rigi Kaltbad, a charming mountain village where motor vehicles are not allowed.

You can explore this fairytale site at your leisure, with the Känzeli lookout point as one of its main attractions. After enjoying the panoramic views, we'll meet at Rigi Kaltbad Station to take a cable car to Weggis. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne, Weggis was described by the American writer Mark Twain as the "most charming place" in the world.

Finally, from Weggis, we'll return by boat to one of the docks in Lucerne harbour, where we'll conclude this 10-hour activity.

Partial Closures

On April 1 and 2, 2026, from November 16 to 27, 2026 and from March 8 to 31, 2027, the cable car will be undergoing maintenance. During these periods, both the ascent and descent will be made by rack railway.
