All of Central Switzerland lies at her feet; among her many charms is Europe's first-ever mountain railway. The Rigi is more than a day out: she is a legend.
Rigi
This Railaway offer is bookable at the ticket windows in railroad stations, as well as via RailService (Phone 0900 300 300, at the rate of CHF 1.19 per minute). Like Mark Twain, you'll be enchanted by the views from the Rigi, embracing the Alps, a total of 13 lakes (count them!) and the whole of the Schweizer Mittelland as far as Germany and France. No cars are allowed on the "queen of the mountains" – but instead you can enjoy two historic cog railways and more than 100 kilometres of panoramic paths.
Where to stay:
- Rigi Kulm: Hotel Rigi Kulm
- Rigi Staffelhöhe: Hotel Edelweiss
