From Vitznau or Arth-Goldau, Rigi Railways takes you up the Queen of the Mountains. Between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, breathtaking snow-covered Alpine scenery awaits at 1,798 metres above sea level.
With sweeping views of Central Switzerland's peaks, Mount Rigi reveals a special charm during the colder months. The ascent itself is part of the experience: since 1871, the Vitznau–Rigi Railway, Europe's first mountain railway, has connected the valley with the summit.
Once at the top, well-maintained winter hiking trails and panoramic paths invite you to explore the mountain at your own pace, 365 days a year. For a more active outing, discover the snowy landscape on snowshoes or enjoy a thrilling toboggan ride. When it's time for a break, cosy mountain restaurants serve regional specialities and warming drinks – perfect for enjoying the crisp mountain air or the golden winter sunshine.
