Lucerne
Rigi round trips are the classic Lucerne combination of boat, cogwheel train and cable car, and this list compares ways to stack them. The railway up from Vitznau opened in 1871, the first mountain railway in Europe. It runs year round, which makes Rigi the safe winter pick.
Get ready for an unforgettable journey through Switzerland's stunning landscapes on the Classic Rigi Round Trip - where surprises await at every turn.
