Your Mount Rigi self-guided day ticket grants access to one of Switzerland’s most famous mountains. A preferred outing for families, hikers or lovers of a relaxing day in nature. The mountain lays like a peninsula within Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, right in the heart of Switzerland. It is very easily connected from Lucerne by boat, train or private car to Vitznau or Weggis, and from Zurich by direct train line or highway A4 to Arth-Goldau. The 360-degree views from the top are stunning and the countless optional activities provide full relaxation for everybody.

Combine your mountain excursion with some relaxing hours at the Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Baths & Spa which delivers an exclusive wellness experience surrounded by a legendary Alpine landscape. Unwind and pamper yourself.

Hop on the cogwheel train in Vitznau, Europe’s first mountain railway, which brings you to the top of Rigi Kulm, aka ‘Queen of the Mountains.’ The mountain top (called Rigi Kulm) provides countless panoramic views overlooking Lake Lucerne. Topping the Rigi mountain range at 5,899 feet (1,798 meters) in elevation, the summit boasts unbeatable views of the Swiss Plateau with the Bernese Alps, Vosges Mountains, Black Forest and Glarus Alps beyond. Take a short stroll around the top of the mountain to immerse yourself in the 360-degree panorama over countless lakes or just enjoy the sun and endless wide view on one of the many wellness benches. Spend your time on a hiking trail, or grab lunch in one of the cozy restaurants along the many hiking trails (activities and food are your own expense).

If you prefer to discover another cogwheel train and route, you can also hop on the train to Goldau, from where you have countless direct railway connections up to Zurich (37 minutes), Lucerne (28 minutes), or others. Another accessing point to Mt. Rigi is Weggis, where a cable car brings you up to Rigi Kaltbad, from where you can continue by cogwheel train up to Rigi Kulm. Your ticket provides unlimited rides on the three transportation services for the whole day and you are able to choose your route according to your wishes.

When it’s time, the cogwheel train transports you down to the mountain resort of Rigi Kaltbad. The Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Baths & Spa was designed by renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta. Its tranquil and contemplative ambience makes it the perfect place for rest and relaxation. The large indoor pool with its deep niches leads directly into the outdoor pool, where bathers are greeted by a sweeping Alpine panorama. Here, everyday life is quickly forgotten. Visitors bathe in the mineral-rich spring water and wood-fired heating warms the water up to a pleasant 35° Celsius.

The pool complex is complemented by a spa area including a crystal spa, steam room, organic sauna and expansive chill-out zone. The luxurious facilities are rounded off by a large selection of massages, as well as beverages and light cuisine in the Botta Kaffee. Beyond the glass facade with stone slats, there is a clear panoramic view from the rear of the indoor pool and, of course, from the outdoor pool out across the mountainous landscape.

The indoor and outdoor pool areas feature the following:
• Whirlpool
• Massage jets to relax you from head to toe
