Unforgettable Rigi: Queen of Mountains & Lucerne Lake Cruise

This was a really nice excursion. Easy to find the boat, followed the time schedule. The train was right there. Really enjoyed Mt Rigi. Walked back down to the next station and caught the train to the Rigi Karlstad and down the cable car down. That was a little disappointing as being so many people crammed in the cable car.

Check weather report day before so you can cancel and get a refund! We wasted $600 cuz it was snowing on mt rigi and we could not do anything but the cogolwheel and ferry ride !!

I liked that this is an independent tour, but could also be enjoyed as a guided tour. The only timetables that were provided was a link to the boat schedule. There were a lot of helpful people about though and we got where we needed to go. Note that you should take the cog wheel train to the top to Rigi Kulm and then you can stop at each station on the way down (1 hour between trains at each stop when we were there). You can take the tram down to Weggis from the Rigi-Kalabad-First stop. Note you have to walk 2 km down to the pier to catch the boat back. It was easily just a half-day trip for us in April, but it was cold and cloudy at the top.

Excellent! The views everywhere from the boat to the mountain top were breathtaking. Plenty of time to enjoy at your leisure

It rained the whole trip and the gondola was getting serviced and not in operation. But it looked like it could be a nice trip.

Loved that all the tickets were bundled and we could explore Mt Rigi at our own pace. Would have saved a little anxiety if Viator had let us know that the bar code is the "ticket" - all you need for the boat, cogwheel train and aerial cable car. The Viator info said it covered all the tickets and provided a complete timetable - NOT TRUE; also, wasn't sure if a Viator rep would meet us and give us physical tickets. As it turned out, it was super easy - just show the bar code; the only thing they really looked at was the number of adults it covered. (Just would have been nice if Viator had made that clear. Hint hint)

Didn’t make it, with the time change crossover we missed our trip and when I tried to get a refund or reschedule I was only offered a 20% discount.

The experience was wonderful! It is not a guided tour and allows you to explore at your own pace. I’d highly suggest taking it the sights by sitting and taking it all in.

The boat ride and cog wheel train were very fun and the weather cooperated. Mount Rigi was beautiful and worth the experience. However, the cable car ride down to Weser was a total bust. Packed in standing room only with no seating was horrible and hot. That was a Covid/germ incubator. Don’t recommend cable car; train both ways to and from the top.

The view from the top of Mt. Rigi, the cog train ride, and the cable car ride. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted at different stops because there wasn’t a guide/group we had to stay with.
