Day
1 - Lucerne
Arrival in Lucerne by train from the Swiss border or airport. After
check in into your hotel in Lucerne you will take the public train to
Arth-Goldau. From the station of Mt. Rigi-Railways you go further on
with the cogwheel train up to Rigi Kulm (1800m/6000ft). Because of its
unique location and its beautiful landscape, Mt Rigi enjoys an
international reputation as an unforgettable excursion and holiday
paradise in the heart of Switzerland. From the summit you can have a
breath-taking 360 degrees panoramic view of the Alps, looking out over
13 lakes and across all central Switzerland as far as Germany and
France. The mountain boasts more than 100 kilometers of hiking paths and
footpaths. In winter time, Mt. Rigi is an exciting goal for great
recreational and sporting activities in the snow such as skiing,
tobogganing and winter hikes. There are numerous hotels and restaurants
with sun terraces, as well as romantic picnic - and barbeque spots - all
inviting you to snuggle down and relax. In the late afternoon you
descend from Mt. Rigi by cogwheel train to Rigi Kaltbad and further by
aerial cable car to Weggis from where you board the boat and enjoy a
cruise back to Lucerne. Overnight in Lucerne. (O)

2970m/10000ft. Enjoy the beautiful view of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau
(UNESCO World Hertiage) and on more than 200 other summits, innumerable
