Overview

Locals agree that Mt Rigi is one of Switzerland’s most favorite places for hiking

Mount Rigi, also known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, is THE mountain peak where Swiss alpine tourism began over 200 years ago. It may not be as high as its opposite peak, Mt Pilatus, but a round trip to the summit of Mt Rigi and a hike along its ridge path with spectacular views is always worth the trip.

Highlights of this tour:

2-3 hours of easy walking on marked trails with panoramic views over the Alps and lakes

We will have a light BBQ lunch – your guide will take care of the fire and logistics. In winter we will have a light lunch at a local restaurant.

(Vegetarians – please warn us in advance!)

4 types of public transportation – local train, cogwheel railway, aerial cableway and and boat

Option to include time at the Rigi Kaltbad Mineral Spa Bath indoor/outdoor facilities.

My son and I had the most amazing time on this tour. We actually spent the night at the farm. Our guide, Andrea was the best and we hope to remain in contact with him. I can't express the level of care and compassion he had for my son and I. Also his knowledge of Mount Rigi and the culture was an added benefit. He BBQ a lunch of us over a campfire and we chatted about our lives. It was the highlight of pir two week tour of the area. I would definitely recommend this tour! The overnight at the farm was awesome too. Our host Tony was very accommodating and the fondu dinner he prepared was the best ever! Our room was comfortable and very clean. The morning we awoke to a beautiful breakfast with many choices ranging from fresh croissants, fresh fruit, eggs, cheeses and local meats. I want to go back just writing this review. This was well planned and very professional from start to finish. Great job to Rene and your team. We will be back!!

Our guide David was fun and knowledgeable...We thoroughly enjoyed our guided hike, from start to finish. The scenery was spectacular and the hike was just our pace..David asked our preferences and was very accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better excursion. He prepared a lovely snack over the fire pit among the beautiful Swiss landscape and the sounds of dairy cow bells in the distance.

Excellent and accommodating outfit with knowledgeable guides. Great way to spend a day from hiking to taking the cog train, gondola and boat.

We had scheduled four tours with ECHO Rails & Trails Adventures company in Lucerne and surrounding areas. Not only everything was perfectly organized and managed by Andrea Caspani, Director of Operation, but we felt, in every instance, that our guides (we had two guides: Andrea and Glenn) truly cared about us. We were presently surprised by the diversity of our tours: from panorama and country walk to real alpine hiking (Mt. Rigi and Heart of Alpine hike). These four tours with ECHO Rails & Trails will definitely become eye-opening, adventurous and stanning journey – something we will remember for long time! We definitely will be back! Thank you both Andrea and Glenn, we were very happy with you! Respectfully, Tatiana Smirnova and Mikhail Sher, From Minnesota, USA
