What you can expect

  • Depart for a full-day trip with a lovely coach ride to Central Switzerland and along the shores of beautiful Lake Lucerne to Weggis, a charming summer resort on the Lucerne Riviera. Board the cable car to Rigi Kaltbad and enjoy a breathtaking vista of pristine Lake Lucerne. Change for Europe's first ever mountain railway to Rigi-Kulm at 1,797 m a.s.l. The unsurpassed views from the summit over the Swiss Midlands with its deep blue lakes and the snow-capped mountain range of the Alps will overwhelm you!

    A variety of well-prepared hiking trails invites for a walk and cosy mountain restaurants offer a decent selection of typical Swiss meals, all accompanied by an amazing alpine panorama. Take in a moment of silence at the Rigi Kulm mountain chapel before you descend to Vitznau by cogwheel train. Board a public boat for a lovely one-hour boat trip on picturesque Lake Lucerne and lean back in front of an incomparable natural scenery.

    Dock at the Lucerne pier and stroll through the medieval streets of the charming Old Town. See the famous Chapel Bridge, the baroque Jesuit Church and the impressive Culture and Convention Centre (KKL) by star architect Jean Nouvel. Continue along the lakeside promenade with its grand Belle Epoque hotels and visit the famous Lion Monument for a souvenir photo. Have a snack or drink or buy some souvenirs before you meet your tour guide for the coach journey back to Zurich in the evening.
