Lauren – United Kingdom

This pass was really easy to use, although it seems expensive it is better value than booking transport on the mountain separately. Also, I highly recommend Mt Rigi as the views are unbelievable at the top. We got the cogwheel train up, which has stunning views too, and then walked halfway back down and caught the train again halfway down. This was a really nice activity.

Full description

Discover Rigi, a mountain range in central Switzerland with a particular charm. Choose for yourself how you would like to discover the Queen of the Mountains with its outstanding 360-degree panoramic view overlooking the Swiss Alps and lakes.

Take the first mountain railway in Europe (since 1871), which travels from Vitznau to the top of the mountain (Rigi Kulm; 1797 meters above sea level). Or travel to the top from Goldau with the rack railway on the north face, from where you can also access the small cable car departing at Kräbel, going up to Rigi Scheidegg. From Weggis, the cable car travels to Rigi Kaltbad, where you can transfer with the rack railway to the Rigi Kulm. 

All of the valley stations can easily be reached from Lucerne by boat to Weggis/Vitznau or direct train to Goldau as well as from Zurich with a direct train connection to Goldau. Each valley station also has car parking facilities. 

Summer (March - November):
The Rigi Day Pass includes all 4 modes of transport for the whole day. The mountain rage offers different hiking- and walking trails of approximately 120 kilometers with fantastic panoramic views. This is a popular area for all fans of walking or for those seeking respite and relaxation away from the beaten tourist path. Be aware during summer months the Rigi is not covered in snow!

Winter (December - March):
The Rigi Day Pass includes all 4 modes of transport for the whole day. Skiers and snowboarders can use the ski lifts on the Rigi.

Whole experience was very straight forward. If you want to go to the summit, make sure you stay on the train the whole way. If you want the cable carts down, then go to Rigi-kulm. It’s so beautiful and if you get snow then you’re very lucky!!
