Description

Experience the best of Switzerland’s natural beauty on a full-day journey from Zurich to Mount Rigi and the charming lakeside city of Lucerne. Begin your adventure with a scenic drive to Weggis, where your guide helps you get oriented before you embark on a self-guided exploration of the region.

Ascend Mount Rigi, known as the Queen of the Mountains, by aerial cable car and Europe’s first mountain railway. Take in breathtaking alpine vistas, wander along inviting hiking trails, or relax at cozy mountain restaurants as you enjoy panoramic views of deep blue lakes and snow-capped peaks.

After soaking in the mountain scenery, descend by cogwheel train to Vitznau. From there, board a boat for a picturesque cruise across Lake Lucerne, surrounded by stunning landscapes and tranquil waters that capture the essence of Switzerland’s lake region.

Arriving in Lucerne, you’ll have free time to explore the medieval Old Town, stroll across the iconic Chapel Bridge, and discover landmarks like the Jesuit Church and Town Hall. Art and history lovers can visit renowned museums such as the Swiss Museum of Transport or the Rosengart Museum, featuring works by Picasso and Klee.

Your tour includes comfortable coach transportation from Zurich, a multilingual guide for key segments, all mountain railway and boat tickets, and carbon-balanced operations. Don’t miss this unforgettable day in the Swiss Alps—secure your spot now and start planning your alpine escape!
