Mt. Rigi and Lake Lucerne Cruise Private Rail Tour

8 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Embark on a private tour from Zurich: cruise Lake Lucerne, climb Mount Rigi by historic cog train, and soak in the views of the Swiss Alps, all while your guide handles the details .
Known as the Queen of the Mountains, Mount Rigi rises above Lake Lucerne, with the Swiss Alps on one side and the lakes and lowlands on the other.

On this private day trip from Zurich, you will cross Lake Lucerne by boat and then ride Europe's first mountain railway, a cog train that has climbed to the summit since 1871, up to Rigi Kulm at 1,800 meters.

On a clear day the view reaches across more than a dozen lakes and deep into the Alps. The whole journey runs on the Swiss rail network, which is comfortable and clean, and the best way to see the most beautiful sides of Switzerland without having to deal with crowded tourist buses or highway traffic. With your private guide taking care of tickets and connections, and pointing out the best photo opportunities, all you have to do is enjoy the ride.

A stop for lunch at an authentic Swiss restaurant is included.
