This year I am going to explore more of my beautiful Switzerland and starting it off was a trip to Mount Rigi.
With the train to Luzern
Taking the train from Zurich main station to Luzern, you arrive in about an hour in the city. Luzern itself has many things to offer so, if you haven’t been there you might wanna plan one or two hours for sightseeing like the Chapel Bridge, walking around the old town for some shopping or strolling along the side walk at the lake.

Up to the top of Mount Rigi
After our Spa trip we caught the cogwheel train up to the top. I mean if you can’t tell from all the pictures – the view is stunning! You see the Alps from so many different angles and depending on the time of year you’re visiting there might be a little bit of snow too.
I loved our trip to Mount Rigi. Make sure to go on a relatively sunny, clear day as you don’t wanna miss all the beautiful scenery that is presented to you but other than that, you can go at any time of the year. For the ones that like a little bit of
Until next time, xx
