Celebration of 150 years of the "Rigi-Scheidegg Railway" on Rigi Scheidegg
Overview
Intro
Switzerland is known for its pioneering spirit in railroad construction. The steam railroad between Kaltbad and Rigi Scheidegg was the highest adhesion railroad in Europe when it was completed.
The history of the Rigi-Scheidegg Railway is duly celebrated over two weekends: Ride on a steam locomotive, special exhibition in the mountain restaurant, festivities. The installation and operation of the steam locomotive over a length of 100 meters on Rigi Scheidegg will not only make the hearts of railroad fans beat faster.
The special exhibition "150 years of the Rigi-Scheidegg Railway" in the Rigi Scheidegg mountain restaurant shows lots of interesting facts in three themed areas with photos, portraits, documents, objects etc. and is a real treasure trove for young and old alike. The festivities in the area, in the mountain restaurant, in the Rigi Maison and in the Alpine kiosk ensure that visitors can enjoy themselves.
