My 3rd and last Swiss mountain was the littlest at 5900 feet...and also my 3rd and least favorite...but it still makes for a nice visit if you got time and a Swiss Travel Pass which waives the $72 day pass ticket. On a clear day, you'll get lovely sweeping views of Lake Luzern and everything nearby...its just not as epic as the views from Pilatus and the Schilthorn. First world problems, I know! There are also miles and miles of hiking trails, you can even hike to the bottom and buy a one way $36 ticket instead. Most tourists go up to the peak and down, but the ticket also covers the other cogwheel trains along the mountain if you want to explore further. read more

I highly recommend the Rigi Bahnen especially if you have a Swiss Pass since it is included with that. We went in November and there was ice and snow at the top of Mount Rigi. Make sure you bring the proper clothing and shoes! We took the boat to the train and the gondola back down to the train to return to Lucerne. Overall amazing views and a great train ride! read more

Used this train for our snowshoe excursion- from foggy Zurich, it was quite a diversion! The train left quite often with the last one round 6, it was so nice to get above the fog quick! We snowshoed for hours, and had a snack at the top. Only 15 minutes back down- with just a few stops. With a GA the price is free, and from the top, a great view you'll see! It's a bit crowded and connects to a parking lot. Or you can reach it from Vitznau train stop. read more

so much fund for a train. Great views so have your camera ready and make sure you have warm clothes if it is winter or spring. Snow and rain may happen rapidly. read more
