Description

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Switzerland on this unforgettable day trip from Zurich to Mount Rigi, the 'Queen of the Mountains'. Enjoy an adventure day from Zurich, beginning with a picturesque coach ride over the scenic Albis Pass and along the shimmering shores of Lake Lucerne to the charming resort town of Weggis on the Lucerne Riviera. Here, you’ll board an aerial cableway that lifts you to Rigi Kaltbad, continue your ascent via Europe’s first-ever mountain railway to the summit of Rigi-Kulm, at 1,797 meters above sea level. At the top, marvel at breathtaking views of 13 lakes, and immerse yourself in stunning panoramas showcasing the majestic Alps and picturesque meadows. After taking in the alpine beauty and snapping memorable photos, you will begin your descent on the same cogwheel train back down to Vitznau. From there, embark on a serene boat cruise to Lucerne - the perfect way to unwind and take in Switzerland’s legendary landscapes from a whole new perspective. Back in Lucerne, enjoy some free time to explore the old town, where charming medieval streets will lead you to the iconic Chapel Bridge (Kappellbrücke). As the day winds down, we’ll regroup and board the bus for a comfortable ride back to Zurich after experiencing Switzerland’s natural beauty.
