Known as the ‘Queen of the Mountains’, Mt. Rigi is an easy day trip from Lucerne. Here, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Swiss Alps, visit a cheese farm, go hiking, visit the Kanzeli viewpoint, and even go skiing or sledding in the winter. Getting to the mountain is part of the fun, with the journey—that’s entirely free with a Swiss Travel Pass— involving a boat ride and a cog railway jaunt. Otherwise, have a hassle-free experience with a tour, with optional entrance to the Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Baths, a cruise along Lake Lucerne, or an additional visit to Mt. Pilatus.
