Day Trip Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the bus parking lot in Landenberg in Lucerne and walk to a nearby pier. Here, we'll embark on a leisurely boat trip on 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, which dates back to 1871. The journey takes just over half an hour and ends 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 for lunch and to enjoy views of the lakes and mountains of the Swiss Alps. At the indicated time, we'll meet again at Rigi Kulm Station to take the rack railway to Rigi Kaltbad, a mountain village where motor vehicles are not allowed.

You can explore this site at your leisure, with the Känzeli lookout point as one of its attractions. After enjoying the views, we'll meet at Rigi Kaltbad Station to take a cable car to Weggis, situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne.

Finally, from Weggis, we'll return by boat to one of the docks in Lucerne harbour, concluding this 7-hour activity.
