Description

Embark on a memorable small-group day trip from Zurich to Mount Rigi, one of Switzerland’s most iconic peaks. Your journey begins with a scenic drive over the Albis Pass and along the sparkling shores of Lake Lucerne, setting the stage for a day of natural beauty and adventure.

Arriving in the lakeside town of Weggis, you’ll ascend by aerial cableway to Rigi Kaltbad, then continue your climb on Europe’s first mountain railway to reach the summit of Rigi-Kulm. From the top, take in sweeping views of 13 lakes and the majestic Alps, perfect for unforgettable photos.

After soaking up the alpine vistas, descend by cogwheel train to Vitznau. Here, a tranquil boat cruise across Lake Lucerne awaits, offering a relaxing way to admire Switzerland’s legendary landscapes from the water.

Once in Lucerne, enjoy free time to explore the charming old town, stroll its medieval streets, and see the famous Chapel Bridge. Later, regroup with your guide for a comfortable return to Zurich, concluding a day filled with stunning sights and authentic Swiss experiences.

This full-day tour lasts about 10.5 hours and includes transportation by panoramic bus, a knowledgeable driver-guide, all train and boat rides, and free time in Lucerne. Book your spot now to experience the best of Switzerland’s mountains and lakes before spaces fill up!
