Rigi round trip

Leisurely round trip by train, on the Rigi Railway and by boat on Lake Lucerne

Discover the Rigi on a particularly varied route: the journey begins in Arth-Goldau with the cogwheel railroad, which takes you comfortably to the summit of the Rigi. Once at the top, a spectacular panoramic view of the lakes of Central Switzerland and the surrounding Alps awaits you. The descent takes you along the route of Europe's first mountain railroad to Vitznau - from there you continue by boat across Lake Lucerne to Lucerne. This allows you to experience the Queen of the Mountains without having to travel the same route twice. The offer can be booked all year round and impressively combines the romance of the train with the pleasure of the lake.

Included in the experience:

  • Outward and return journey from Zurich, Basel, Locarno, St. Gallen, Lucerne or Arth-Goldau

  • 1 coffee, tea or hot chocolate on the Treno Gottardo or the Voralpen-Express

  • Ascent from Arth-Goldau to Rigi-Kulm and descent to Vitznau or vice versa on the Rigi Railway

  • Boat trip from Lucerne to Vitznau or vice versa

  • 1 souvenir, Rigi carabiner cup or Rigi lip balm stick
