Canton of Schwyz Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Rigi - The Queen of Mountain in Switzerland

Transport: Free with Swiss Travel Pass/Day Pass, can either access from Lucern or Zurich. Recommend to take Boat ride from Lucern to Vitznau, then change to cogwheel train to Rigi Kulm. Descend from the hill from Rigi Kulm to Rigi-First and change to Weggis by taking a cable car! Scenery: Beautiful and super nice view on top of Rigi Mountain. You may also enjoy the full lake Lucern view via the cable to Weggis! Food: There is a restaurant at Rigi Kulm for quick bite Souvenir: Recommend to buy at the tourist information shop at Rigi Kulm. Price is friendly and reasonable! Got my Rigi bottle there at CHF12.9! #Rigi #Switzerland Overall: With ST/Day Pass, highly recommending going without additional cost! #Lucern

Mount Rigi, Switzerland

Our local friend highly recommended us to go, Mount Rigi, where the shortest route is to arrive Arth Goldau, then take tram to mount top. Tram fare has a big discount after 4pm, it is not an issue when you visit in Summer time as sunset is almost 9pm. Spent 40 mins in a classic tram with natural view, then it brings you reach the top spot. Mush less tourists as compared to the nearest mount Pilatus. You are reserved a stunning overview to city Zug and Luzern at the lookout, hiking around Rigi is another good option that is chill and refreshing for everyone. 當地朋友極力推薦我們去Rigi Kuen ，那裡最短的路線是到達Arth Goldau，然後乘坐電車到達山頂。下午 4 點後電車票價有很大折扣，如果您在夏季遊覽，這不是問題，因為日落時間差不多是晚上 9 點。乘坐經典有軌電車，欣賞自然風光，花費 40 分鐘到達山頂。與最近的Pilatus 相比，遊客少得多。您可以在觀景台欣賞到楚格市和盧塞恩市的壯麗景色，在Rigi周圍徒步旅行是另一個不錯的選擇，可以讓每個人都感到清爽。

🇨🇭 It's snowing in Mt Rigi! ❄️🌨️🏔️

We visited Mount Rigi, which is often referred to as the "Queen of the Mountains", while we were in Lucerne since the journey was included in Swiss Rail Travel Pass. We first took a train from Lucerne's main train station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. The train ride took approximately 30 minutes. From Arth-Goldau, we took a cogwheel train which offered a scenic ascent to the top of Mount Rigi. The summit of Mount Rigi offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Swiss Alps on a clear day. However, it was snowing on the day of our visit. Nonetheless, we had fun playing with snow too! #thingstodo #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel

Swiss small poor travel! Money-saving strategy!

1 Who says Switzerland is not fun in winter!! It's too beautiful! There are snow mountains and greenery This time I spent about 7k RMB in total (see the last picture) Play: Use Interlaken as a transit station, and return to a place every day. The advantage of this is that it is very flexible. Everyone knows that Swiss weather depends on luck. In this way, you only need to decide where to go according to the weather of the day Transportation The plane was bought more than a month in advance. Zurich to go, Geneva to return Local transportation decisively swiss pass, very fragrant, tired can take the bus at any time, golden train to see where good can get off directly Hotel Living in the small town of Wilderswil, which is only 6 minutes away from Interlaken train, you can also take the bus from Interlaken ost. There is not much to eat in the town, usually buy in Interlaken. But the town has no light pollution and is very quiet, the stars are super good at night! The hotel faces the Jungfrau, and the snow mountain is just outside the window when the weather is good Exchange money Just find a UBS and settle in francs is the real-time exchange rate. One of my great pleasures in Switzerland is to compare the exchange rates in various places, really only UBS has no handling fee Play 1 Day 1: Play in Zurich, stay in Interlaken on the same day. Zurich train station can store bags, there are many notes can be flipped. It was New Year's Eve that day, and the town's fireworks were quite good 2 Day 2: Interlaken round trip Zermatt (Matterhorn). The weather is super good, but my friends and I have high anti. The winter reflection there is frozen and covered by snow, and it is very dangerous to go there without professional shoes, I suggest everyone to consider life safety 3 Day 3: Interlaken - Golden Train Lucerne - Rigi. Rigi is really beautiful, although it is cloudy, it may be my favorite mountain, if conditions permit, take a cruise is great!4 Day 4: Interlaken round trip Grindelwald (First Mountain and Dream Slope), stay in Geneva at night. The paragliding and projects were cancelled due to the strong wind that day, but the scenery is really good. Remember to check the last cable car down the mountain time

#tripaway Spectacular view of the surroundings on the peak including Lake Lucerne and the neighboring mountains. The hike to reach the peak from Klingenstock was strenuous but was worth it. One could enjoy the magnificent view while lunching and having refreshments from the restaurant on the summit.A must visit #tripaway

Paradise on earth is in Switzerland🇨🇭

📍Fronalpstock, Schwyz One of the most beautiful places in Switzerland easily reached by chair lift from car-free Stoos. It never disappoints!

😍 Trip with @khanjipeerwala 📍Harbin Ice and Snow World, China Harbin Ice and Snow World, famous for its ice and snow sculptures, is one of the world’s largest theme parks of ice and snow.

Moody Afternoon Bliss: Embracing the View from Fronalpstock, Switzerland ☁️

Situated in the heart of Switzerland, Fronalpstock offers a moody and enchanting view that will take your breath away. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere as clouds gently drift across the sky, creating a dreamscape that seems almost unreal. Allow the serenity of this place to envelop you and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Sharing a snow rescue dog St. Bernard Jie only named Marx, St. Bernard is a bit disgusting me [feet] Swiss National Treasure St. Bernard, weight can reach 90 kg, Standing up to 90 cm in height, it is one of the largest dog breeds in the world. The St. Bernard is the most effective assistant to the lifeguards in the Alps. Following the lifeguards to rescue the people in the mountains, it is called the Animal Rescue Hero. But the number of St. Bernard is gradually decreasing, and it is increasingly difficult for tourists to see them. St. Bernard is really cute, running and rolling in the snow, full of impatience and stickiness, a small wooden barrel hanging around the neck, the original barrel filled with spirits, is to wipe the body of the distress For heating. The most famous exhibit at the Berne Natural History Museum in the Swiss capital is a specimen of St. Bernard's Baal. Baal has rescued many victims in the snow, 1414 in 1414. It left the world.

Rigi, St. Regis, Switzerland, has come here many times with travellers in the past few summers. Because it is too close to Lucerne, it can go up the mountain with a Swiss pass. Every time it goes to the top of the mountain, it hurries down. It is always a little underestimated. This time I lived in Rigi Mountain. The blue and red trains shuttled, stopped at the passing station, ate on foot, and finally went to the top of the mountain. It seems to have fixed a big blizzard, the clouds are haunting, the everywhere is bright and bright, it is a beautiful reunion, thank you for your winter sunshine, this time, I seriously look at you.

I lived in Rigi Hill. On the way, the train changed for the big ship and changed the train, and arrived in the afternoon. The air in the mountains is cold and the heating is hot. The hotel has an outdoor hot spring pool and the water is foggy. Settle and go out on foot, the distant sunlight illuminates the lake through the clouds. Our guide says that this is the Tyndall effect. Encyclopedia: "When a beam of light passes through the colloid, it can be observed from the direction of normal incident light. A bright "pathway" in the colloid, this phenomenon is called Tyndall phenomenon." feels too beautiful, is a gift that Rigi gave us # yearning life#

Sophie's Swiss Travel Notes Rigi, located on the edge of Lake Lucerne, is known as the Alpine Queen, but far from the Jungfrau, Matt Hung, Titlis is familiar to us. From the Port of Lucerne, take a boat to Vitznau station and get off the boat. Walk along the sign for 15 minutes to the mountainside and take the gear train Rigi Klum up the mountain. The wind on the top of the mountain is real, the windshield hat is the right head. It won't hurt. From the observation deck on the top of the mountain, the scenery is truly unique. There are 13 lakes in Switzerland, rolling mountains, verdant plains, and village towns under the mountains. It is said that when you have a good view, you can see Germany, the French Alps, but I really can only see mountains or mountains. When going down the mountain, it is recommended to choose another way to go, so that you can see different scenery. Take the train to Kaltbad station and transfer to the cable car to the town of Weggis. This Swiss lakeside town is also worth a stroll. If you have purchased a Swiss train pass, you can take a cruise, and the mountain train and cable car are free. If you travel by Swiss without a pass, you can buy a ticket when you take the boat. The impression is more than 100 Swiss francs. It is very expensive. .

Mt Emei Partnership Stone At Mt Rigi

#wheretogo When I was in Chengdu, I wanted very much to go Mt Emei but opportunities forbid me to do so. A month or so after my Chengdu trip, I was ar Mt Rigi at Lucerne Switzerland. To my surprise, I saw a stone with Mt Emei carved on it. Thus, I found it quite a coincidence. I read the wordings on the stone and found out that the stone symbolised the partnership between Mt Emei and Mt Rigi.

Rigi Kulm - A Geneva Day Trip

snowing in spring

#skiadventure We visited Grindelwald-First in May and were surprised to see snow in action. FIRST is one of the most popular places to visit in Switzerland. The First Cliff Walk is just about 300 meters long, and what we saw was just white scenery due to the snow. With this weather in May, we can imagine how snowy it will get in winter time. Maybe it is a sign for us to return during winter to experience some ski adventure. #mytripvlog
