Mount Rigi Winter Day Trip from Zurich

Summary Description

Leave the central Zurich starting point by coach, and gaze at the scenery as you travel to Mount Rigi, Central Switzerland’s mountain massif that’s flanked by lakes. Hop out at the alpine town of Weggis and ride up to the peak by cable car.

As the chalets of Weggis slip into the distance, your views are replaced with the snowy vistas of the Swiss Alps. Pose for summit-level photos against a backdrop of lakes and mountains and use your free time to stroll around and soak up the views. Then, head back down the mountain by one of Europe’s earliest cogwheel trains and cruise over the lake to the city of Lucerne.

After more free time to explore Lucerne Old Town, meet your guide for the journey back to Zurich, where your day trip ends at the starting point.

Highlights
  • Travel to Weggis with a guide
  • Avoid language difficulties with prebooked cable car, train, and boat tickets
  • Spend time in Lucerne Old Town as you wish, perhaps shopping or eating
