The scenic cogwheel train journey from Mount Rigi to Vitznau is a must-see experience in Switzerland. Starting at Rigi Kulm, the highest point on Mount Rigi, this historic railway—Europe’s oldest mountain train—offers an unforgettable descent. The route winds through alpine meadows and lush forests, revealing spectacular views of Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug, and the majestic Swiss Alps. Though the ride lasts only about 40 minutes, it’s brimming with breathtaking vistas. The train concludes its journey in Vitznau, a charming village nestled on the shores of Lake Lucerne. From here, you can board a ferry to explore Lucerne or other enchanting lakeside towns. #onthemove #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride

During our time in Lucerne, we visited Mount Rigi, often called the "Queen of the Mountains," as the journey was included with the Swiss Rail Travel Pass. Our adventure began with a 30-minute train ride from Lucerne's main station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. From there, we boarded a cogwheel train that provided a stunning, scenic ascent to the summit of Mount Rigi. The cogwheel train is particularly fascinating due to its use of a toothed rack rail system in the center of the track, enabling it to navigate steep gradients that standard trains cannot handle. #magicalxmastrip #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride
