🇨🇭 Cogwheel Train Ride to Mt Rigi

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
