Rigi Attractions
|
|
The Rigi, the most famous mountain viewpoint in Switzerland, 1,800 m/5,906ft high, rises in isolation above Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug and the Lauerzer See, and is brought within easy reach by two cog-railroads and a cableway. The roads from Küssnacht, Weggis and Gersau terminate half-way up the mountain.
The Rigi massif is an extensive range with a summit ridge some 50km/31mi long. The most popular viewpoints are the Kulm (1,800 m/5,906ft), the Rotstock (1,662 m/5,453ft) and the Scheidegg (1,665 m/5,463ft). The many attractive footpaths and the mountain air, however, make it well worth while spending more time on the Rigi than a brief period for the sake of the view.
