★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 363 reviews · 1 day · from $169Our pick

Lucerne to Mt. Rigi round trip by boat, rack railway, and cable car, with flexible times and big panoramic payoff for $169.

“Trip and hike down Rigi was beautiful. Recommend lunch at the Alpina Restaurant/Hotel where we caught the gondola down. While self-guided the instructions should clearly state that you need to figure out the boat to take on your own, no one will meet and direct you. Minor flaw in the directions; we figured out just before the boat launched.”

Cruise Lake Lucerne, ride Europe’s first cogwheel railway to Mt. Rigi, then soak at Rigi Kaltbad mineral spa.

“The experience was very easy as far as getting to where we needed to be. It was great to not have a schedule - we could do this at our own pace. The cable car experience from Kaltbad to Weggis was very very crowded - packed in like sardines so if you’re last to get on (like us) you have absolutely no view except your neighbor’s armpit. 🫤 That could have been done much better in my opinion. Otherwise the views were breathtaking from the top and lake is very beautiful from the boat.”

The boat ride around Lake Lucerne was interesting but could have avoided an embarrassing moment. We did not know our cruise tickets were for the 2nd class lounge and we asked to leave the 1st class lounge! As Americans we did not know!”
