Experience the thrill of riding Europe's first mountain railway, the cogwheel train in Vitznau, just a 30-minute drive from Lucerne. This scenic train will take you to the top of Rigi Kulm, where you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Lucerne, the Swiss Plateau, the Bernese Alps, Vosges Mountains, Black Forest, and the Glarus Alps. Take a leisurely stroll around the mountain's summit and immerse yourself in the 360-degree panoramas or simply bask in the sun on one of the wellness benches.
If you're feeling adventurous, explore the hiking trails or indulge in a delicious lunch at one of the cozy restaurants along the way (activities and food at your own expense). If you're looking to explore more cogwheel train routes, hop on the train to Goldau. From there, you'll have numerous direct railway connections to Zurich (37 minutes), Lucerne (28 minutes), and other destinations. Another option is to start your journey from Weggis, where a cable car will take you up to Rigi Kaltbad. From there, continue your ascent to Rigi Kulm on the cogwheel train. With your ticket, you'll have unlimited rides on all three transportation services for the entire day, allowing you to choose your preferred route.
When it's time to descend, the cogwheel train will take you back to the mountain resort of Rigi Kaltbad. Here, you can indulge in ultimate relaxation at the Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Baths & Spa, designed by renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta. The serene ambiance and stunning Alpine views make it the perfect place to unwind. Take a dip in the mineral-rich spring waters, heated to a pleasant 35°C by wood-fired heating, and let all your worries melt away. Don't miss out on this incredible experience! We can include this tour activity in your Switzerland package, complete with flights, hotels, tours, sightseeing, and meals.
