Your Mount Rigi self-guided day ticket gives you access to one of Switzerland’s most famous mountains. You’ll find the mountain sits like a peninsula between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, right in the heart of the country. It is a popular choice for families, hikers and anyone seeking a relaxing day in nature.
From the summit you’ll enjoy 360-degree views across alpine peaks and the lakes below. Along the way you may explore a variety of optional activities that cater to different interests and energy levels, with plenty of opportunities to rest and take in the scenery. The setting is well suited to gentle walks, more energetic hikes or simply relaxing while admiring the panorama.
Mount Rigi is easily reached from Lucerne, with connections by boat, train or private car to Vitznau or Weggis, and from Zurich via a direct train line or the A4 to Arth-Goldau. As you plan your visit, you’ll have flexible ways to approach the mountain and spend the day enjoying its views and outdoor options.
