Weggis

Weggis (440 m/1,444ft) is a popular resort prettily situated on the lake. A pleasant detour can be made to the public beach and to the Hertenstein peninsula (8km/5mi) and to the east a narrow road climbs 5.5km/3mi up the slopes of the Rigi (no road to the summit). The main road, bypassing Weggis, runs uphill again. 2.5km/2mi beyond the turning for Weggis, the old road comes in on the right.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Nearby is the lower station of the Weggis-Rigi-Kaltbad cableway. Then follows a beautiful stretch of road, running close to the lake at the foot of the Rigi, with splendid views. To the right can be seen the Bürgenstock and its well-known hotels. Further on, there is a charming view of the narrowest part of the lake between the two promontories, the Obere and the Untere Nase, and of the Bürgenstock, with the Buochsehorn and Stansehorn rearing up behind it.
