Worth the views and experience

Published on Jul, 2024

The experience was wonderful! It is not a guided tour and allows you to explore at your own pace. I’d highly suggest taking it the sights by sitting and taking it all in.

View was amazing!!

Published on May, 2024

The view from the top of Mt. Rigi, the cog train ride, and the cable car ride. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted at different stops because there wasn’t a guide/group we had to stay with.

Amazing!

Such an amazing experience! This is tickets for the boat ride over and the train ride up the mountain. Just download the timetables yourself for the Lucerne boat and your all set! There was snow at the top of the mountain!

Great experience start to finish.

The tour was extremely easy to navigate. The instructions were clear and every member of staff we came across were beyond helpful. We were out from 8:30 and returned at 13:00 having completed the lake cruise, cog train and cable cars. The views from the summit of Rigi were incredible despite some mist and the cable car experience returning to Weggis was the highlight of the experience. Highly recommend as a day trip to experience the beautiful scenery.

Easy and convenient

Published on Jul, 2023

Easy and convenient way to see Mt Rigi! This ticket was basically our "free pass" on all of the transportation up the mountain. If you are not interested in hiking back down to kaltbad from kulm make sure you study the train schedule! We stayed in Weggis and took the boat to Lucerne later with no issues.
