Lovely excursion. It's worth it even if it's not cheap. We took the boat at the pier next to the train station. 55-minute cruise to Vitznau. Going down there is the rack railway that goes up to the Rigi Klum at 2000 meters. Up there you can see the 13 lakes of Central Switzerland if it is clear and from there the views are incredible. You can either go back or do a bit of hiking to the Rigi Klamt stop where a cable car leaves for Weiss and then a boat back to Lucerne. Or directly again the rack railway to the last stop Vitznau where you take the cruise that takes you to Lucerne on the lake of the four cantons. Minimum 6 hours to do everything and more if you want to hike in summer or autumn

Uma experiência excelente. Viagem de barco muito calma e a vista das margens do lago é excelente. O elétrico até ao topo do monte proporciona vistas magnificas (escolham lugares lado esquerdo para a subida). No topo mesmo em dias mais encobertos é bonito. Desçam a pé até ao teleférico que vale muito a pena. E depois a viagem de teleférico até de novo ao barco é do outro mundo. Para quem tem medo alturas escolha não ficar logo na frente, mas não deixe de fazer a viagem.

Very nice excursion! WARNING!! on the way back there is no necessary or planned connection between the arrival of the cable car and the boat in Weggis. From the cable car a poorly indicated 15-minute walk awaits you to the lake! Previously our train from Rigi was late; stopped 10 minutes! In the end we missed the boat at Weggis at 6:05 pm !! Of course the boat did not wait for us and saw it leave before our eyes !!! the next and last boat for Lucerne from Weggis was then only… 20:57 !!!! or almost 3 hours of waiting! The organization was thus totally failing, leaving us abandoned in the pouring rain! After extensive research on the internet, we discovered that there is the bus line 502 which will take you to Küssnacht station. From there, a train will take you to the center of Lucerne. The price per adult is chf17 .- However, this alternative will prevent you from waiting 3 hours in Weggis for nothing! Sincerely, Alexandre K
