About

Depart for a full-day trip with a lovely coach ride along the shores of beautiful Lake Lucerne to Weggis, a charming summer resort on the Lucerne Riviera.

Board the aerial cableway to Rigi Kaltbad and enjoy a breathtaking vista of pristine Lake Lucerne. Change for Europe’s first-ever mountain railway to Rigi-Kulm at 1,797 m a.s.l. The unsurpassed views from the summit over the Swiss Midlands with its deep blue lakes and the snow-capped mountain range of the Alps will overwhelm you!

Stop for a moment and take in the views at Rigi, also known as Queen of Mountains, before you descend to Vitznau by cogwheel train. Dock at the Lucerne pier and stroll through the medieval streets of the Old Town.
