Mount Rigi with Lake Cruise Private Tour from Luzern

Summary

Following a pickup at your hotel in Lucerne or Lucerne train station, meet your private guide and transfer into central Lucerne to begin your 8-hour tour. With fully flexible itinerary, enjoy the freedom to choose your own route through the spectacular scenery. Perhaps hop aboard a sightseeing boat for a cruise on sparkling Lake Lucerne, and gaze out over the pretty shoreline from your vantage point on the water. Take the 35-minute cog-wheel railway from Vitznau to the top of Mt. Rigi — at an altitude of 5,900 ft (1798m) — and marvel at panoramic views over the surrounding peaks. Capture the scenery on camera and stop for lunch (own expense) in one of two mountaintop restaurants. Then, take a different route back down — passing through Arth-Goldau on the eastern flank of Mt. Rigi. Back down at ground-level, transfer back to your original starting point to bring your private tour to an end.

Why take this tour?

The Rigi (or Mount Rigi; also known as Queen of the Mountains) is a mountain massif of the Alps, located in Central Switzerland. The whole massif is almost entirely surrounded by the water of three different lakes and a stunning view to the alps. The classic round tour from Lucerne starts with a boat ride on lake Lucerne, the coghwheel train to Rigi Kulm and the return travel via Arth-Goldau to Lucerne by train. Our tourguide accompanies you on this tour from the starting point, shows you the changing landscape and answers your questions about the country and its people. The tour guide knows the way and shows you a few places away from the tourist flow.
