Ultimate guide to visiting Mount Rigi including transportation, tickets and timings and the best photo spots. Mount Rigi is our go-to day trip for family and friends visiting us. It offers an all-encompassing experience of all that’s wonderful about Switzerland. A cruise on the delightful Lake Lucerne, a ride on a steep funicular, spectacular views from the cogwheel train, a beautiful mountain top and stunning views across Central Switzerland - and surprisingly few tourists. There are 13 lakes that you can see from the top. On a clear day, even the sharp peaks of several Jungfrau giants are visible. A visit to Mount Rigi is fully covered under the Swiss pass.
