Mount Rigi

Known as the 'Queen of the Mountains', Rigi (1,797 m) is one of the most famous mountains in central Switzerland. A historic 19th-century cog railway leads to the summit, and the view encompasses Lake Lucerne, numerous alpine lakes, and the surrounding mountain peaks. It is particularly popular for sunrises and sunsets.
