  • Day Excursion to Mount Rigi
    Day Excursion to Mount Rigi For those who would like to add an extra day to your visit in Switzerland and take a trip by yourself, we suggest a visit of the Mount Rigi in the Canton Lucerne. The Mount Rigi is the so called “Queen of the Mountains” and is the most popular mountain for a day trip from Zurich. From the summit (1800 m / 6000 ft), you can have a breath-taking panoramic view of the Alps, looking out over 13 lakes and across all central Switzerland as far as Germany and France. An impressive wall of mountain peaks including Mt Titlis, Mt Pilatus or the giants of the Jungfrau region is to be seen. Mt Rigi is easily accessible by train from Zurich main station within 1 h 40 min. From Arth-Goldau, a nostalgic train ride will take you straight to the top of the mountain. There are numerous hotels and restaurants with terraces such as the Rigi Kulm Hotel which is an ideal place to have lunch enjoying the sun and the panoramic view. If you like, there is the possibility of a short one-hour walk from Rigi Kulm down to Rigi Klösterli where you can get back onto the train to Arth-Goldau. Non-hikers can take the train down from Rigi Kulm as well. Good walking shoes are recommended. Schedule proposal 9:09 Departure from Zurich main station to Arth-Goldau 9:48 Arrival at Arth-Goldau, short walk to the Rigibahn 10:10 Departure from Arth-Goldau to Rigi Kulm 10:47 Arrival at Rigi Kulm Panoramic view, Rigi Kulm Hotel, small snack kiosk, etc.
