About
Rigi Kulm is the summit of Mount Rigi above Lake Lucerne, reached by Europe's oldest mountain cog railway, from Vitznau or Arth-Goldau. Kids ride a historic train, then look out over lakes and the Alps from the top. Walking trails start at the summit station, and the views are best on a clear day.
