Lucerne, also translated as "Luzern," is the capital of the canton of Lucerne, located in central Switzerland. Known as the most beautiful and ideal tourist city in Switzerland, it is also the most popular Swiss resort. 🏞️🇨🇭 Lake Lucerne Lake Lucerne, also known as the Vierwaldstättersee, is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland and the first lake entirely located in Switzerland. The shoreline of Lake Lucerne twists and turns, giving rise to many forks that connect the city of Lucerne to the surrounding peaks. 🌊🏔️ Mount Rigi Known as the Queen of the Mountains, Mount Rigi offers a 360-degree view of the Swiss Alps, the idyllic landscape below, as well as 13 lakes, and even views of France and Germany.

Swiss small poor travel! Money-saving strategy!

1 Who says Switzerland is not fun in winter!! It's too beautiful! There are snow mountains and greenery This time I spent about 7k RMB in total (see the last picture) Play: Use Interlaken as a transit station, and return to a place every day. The advantage of this is that it is very flexible. Everyone knows that Swiss weather depends on luck. In this way, you only need to decide where to go according to the weather of the day Transportation The plane was bought more than a month in advance. Zurich to go, Geneva to return Local transportation decisively swiss pass, very fragrant, tired can take the bus at any time, golden train to see where good can get off directly Hotel Living in the small town of Wilderswil, which is only 6 minutes away from Interlaken train, you can also take the bus from Interlaken ost. There is not much to eat in the town, usually buy in Interlaken. But the town has no light pollution and is very quiet, the stars are super good at night! The hotel faces the Jungfrau, and the snow mountain is just outside the window when the weather is good Exchange money Just find a UBS and settle in francs is the real-time exchange rate. One of my great pleasures in Switzerland is to compare the exchange rates in various places, really only UBS has no handling fee Play 1 Day 1: Play in Zurich, stay in Interlaken on the same day. Zurich train station can store bags, there are many notes can be flipped. It was New Year's Eve that day, and the town's fireworks were quite good 2 Day 2: Interlaken round trip Zermatt (Matterhorn). The weather is super good, but my friends and I have high anti. The winter reflection there is frozen and covered by snow, and it is very dangerous to go there without professional shoes, I suggest everyone to consider life safety 3 Day 3: Interlaken - Golden Train Lucerne - Rigi. Rigi is really beautiful, although it is cloudy, it may be my favorite mountain, if conditions permit, take a cruise is great!4 Day 4: Interlaken round trip Grindelwald (First Mountain and Dream Slope), stay in Geneva at night. The paragliding and projects were cancelled due to the strong wind that day, but the scenery is really good. Remember to check the last cable car down the mountain time

Rigi - The Queen of Mountain in Switzerland

Transport: Free with Swiss Travel Pass/Day Pass, can either access from Lucern or Zurich. Recommend to take Boat ride from Lucern to Vitznau, then change to cogwheel train to Rigi Kulm. Descend from the hill from Rigi Kulm to Rigi-First and change to Weggis by taking a cable car! Scenery: Beautiful and super nice view on top of Rigi Mountain. You may also enjoy the full lake Lucern view via the cable to Weggis! Food: There is a restaurant at Rigi Kulm for quick bite Souvenir: Recommend to buy at the tourist information shop at Rigi Kulm. Price is friendly and reasonable! Got my Rigi bottle there at CHF12.9! #Rigi #Switzerland Overall: With ST/Day Pass, highly recommending going without additional cost! #Lucern

Mount Rigi, Switzerland

Our local friend highly recommended us to go, Mount Rigi, where the shortest route is to arrive Arth Goldau, then take tram to mount top. Tram fare has a big discount after 4pm, it is not an issue when you visit in Summer time as sunset is almost 9pm. Spent 40 mins in a classic tram with natural view, then it brings you reach the top spot. Mush less tourists as compared to the nearest mount Pilatus. You are reserved a stunning overview to city Zug and Luzern at the lookout, hiking around Rigi is another good option that is chill and refreshing for everyone. 當地朋友極力推薦我們去Rigi Kuen ，那裡最短的路線是到達Arth Goldau，然後乘坐電車到達山頂。下午 4 點後電車票價有很大折扣，如果您在夏季遊覽，這不是問題，因為日落時間差不多是晚上 9 點。乘坐經典有軌電車，欣賞自然風光，花費 40 分鐘到達山頂。與最近的Pilatus 相比，遊客少得多。您可以在觀景台欣賞到楚格市和盧塞恩市的壯麗景色，在Rigi周圍徒步旅行是另一個不錯的選擇，可以讓每個人都感到清爽。

Lake Lucerne

Lake Lucerne, or Vierwaldstättersee in German, is one of the most beautiful and unique lakes in Switzerland. Located in the central region of the country, the lake is surrounded by the stunning Alps and encompasses several historic cities, including Lucerne. The lake has an unusual shape, with many bays and arms that make it look like a maze from the air. The lake is surrounded by famous mountains such as Pilatus, Rigi, and Stanserhorn, which are popular destinations for hiking, biking, or taking a cable car. The lake is popular for cruises, both on historic steamboats and modern vessels. Cruises on Lake Lucerne provide stunning views of the mountains and villages that line the lakeshore. In addition to cruises, tourists can also enjoy other activities such as swimming, sailing, or visiting Mount Rigi and Mount Pilatus by cable car for spectacular views from above. Lake Lucerne offers the perfect combination of natural beauty, history, and recreational activities, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Switzerland.

Cool Rigi mountain

My recent hiking trip to Rigi Mountain was an unforgettable adventure filled with stunning natural beauty and exhilarating trails.

The well-maintained train added a comfortable and enjoyable start to the hike. Once on the trails, the experience only got better. The paths are clearly marked and offer a variety of terrains, from lush meadows to dense forests, each segment revealing more of the breathtaking landscape. The panoramic views from the summit were simply spectacular, with a 360-degree vista of the Swiss Alps and the shimmering lakes below.

The friendly locals and fellow hikers added a wonderful social element to the journey.#switzerland #rigi

How much fun is the tourist-packed Lucerne? Here's a two-day tour guide for you

Visiting Switzerland and only staying in Lucerne for half a day? You're missing out. Let me tell you, there are plenty of fun places here! Let's get started with the two-day itinerary – Day 1: Hiking Mount Rigi Mount Rigi, the sister mountain to China's Mount Emei, is also known as the Queen of the Mountains locally. Those with a Swiss Travel Pass can take the mountain train directly to the top. On a clear day, you can see mountains and lakes all around. It's recommended to stop at the town of Weggie for lunch, enjoy the food, the scenery, and relax. Day 2: Mount Pilatus & Half-Day Tour of Lucerne City Mount Pilatus is said to have the world's steepest railway, which is why I came. However, it's not as steep as I expected, and the summit is somewhat similar to Taipei's Maokong. The landmark building in the old town of Lucerne is the Chapel Bridge, which attracts many tourists. Even on a rainy day, the photos turn out quite well. Also, don't miss the Musegg Wall! It's about a 20-minute walk from the city center, with some uphill walking involved, which can be tiring. However, the view from the top of the wall overlooking the whole of Lucerne is beautiful. 🥩Food Recommendations: In Lucerne, you can try various cuisines, including American, Italian, Turkish, etc. Among them, a Chinese restaurant called Jialu is highly recommended; their boiled fish is so authentic! 🏫Accommodation Tips: There are quite a few accommodation options around the old town of Lucerne. We stayed at a hotel called Magic Old Town. The interior decoration of the rooms is lovely, and we were even upgraded to a suite with a jacuzzi.

Mount Rigi

Top Of Mount Rigi

#2024wish Before my boss, customers and I went for our business trip, we went to Lucerne Switzerland for a short weekend trip. On the second day, we went for Mount Rigi.

Mt Emei Partnership Stone At Mt Rigi

#wheretogo When I was in Chengdu, I wanted very much to go Mt Emei but opportunities forbid me to do so. A month or so after my Chengdu trip, I was ar Mt Rigi at Lucerne Switzerland. To my surprise, I saw a stone with Mt Emei carved on it. Thus, I found it quite a coincidence. I read the wordings on the stone and found out that the stone symbolised the partnership between Mt Emei and Mt Rigi.

Spectacular View At Mount Rigi

#wheretogo It was the second day of the weekend at Lucerne Switzerland. We decided to explore Mount Rigi. We opted for the cruise ride to go Vitznau whereby we took the railway up to the peak of Mount Rigi. It was a spectacular ride both at the cruise and rail.

Switzerland Travel | How beautiful is the "Queen of the Mountains" Rigi?

When I stepped into Switzerland, I suddenly realized that human understanding of the beauty of nature can always be refreshed. And the Rigi Mountain is truly a fairyland in the clouds. The Rigi Mountain, known as the "Queen of the Mountains", offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Alps. High mountains, snow peaks, forests, lakes... everything is naturally filtered and beautiful. As early as 1871, the Rigi Mountain opened the first mountain railway in Europe, and since then tourists from all over the world have been coming in endless streams. Sitting on the red train and going up the mountain, the breeze gently blows and the scenery is picturesque. Whenever the train stops at a station, some people choose to hike and not miss any enchanting scenery. 🚢Transportation: From Lucerne, take a cruise to Vitnauz, then take a car up to the top of Rigi Kulm, and then take a cable car to the town of Weggis.

Sharing a snow rescue dog St. Bernard Jie only named Marx, St. Bernard is a bit disgusting me [feet] Swiss National Treasure St. Bernard, weight can reach 90 kg, Standing up to 90 cm in height, it is one of the largest dog breeds in the world. The St. Bernard is the most effective assistant to the lifeguards in the Alps. Following the lifeguards to rescue the people in the mountains, it is called the Animal Rescue Hero. But the number of St. Bernard is gradually decreasing, and it is increasingly difficult for tourists to see them. St. Bernard is really cute, running and rolling in the snow, full of impatience and stickiness, a small wooden barrel hanging around the neck, the original barrel filled with spirits, is to wipe the body of the distress For heating. The most famous exhibit at the Berne Natural History Museum in the Swiss capital is a specimen of St. Bernard's Baal. Baal has rescued many victims in the snow, 1414 in 1414. It left the world.

Rigi, St. Regis, Switzerland, has come here many times with travellers in the past few summers. Because it is too close to Lucerne, it can go up the mountain with a Swiss pass. Every time it goes to the top of the mountain, it hurries down. It is always a little underestimated. This time I lived in Rigi Mountain. The blue and red trains shuttled, stopped at the passing station, ate on foot, and finally went to the top of the mountain. It seems to have fixed a big blizzard, the clouds are haunting, the everywhere is bright and bright, it is a beautiful reunion, thank you for your winter sunshine, this time, I seriously look at you.

I lived in Rigi Hill. On the way, the train changed for the big ship and changed the train, and arrived in the afternoon. The air in the mountains is cold and the heating is hot. The hotel has an outdoor hot spring pool and the water is foggy. Settle and go out on foot, the distant sunlight illuminates the lake through the clouds. Our guide says that this is the Tyndall effect. Encyclopedia: "When a beam of light passes through the colloid, it can be observed from the direction of normal incident light. A bright "pathway" in the colloid, this phenomenon is called Tyndall phenomenon." feels too beautiful, is a gift that Rigi gave us # yearning life#

Sophie's Swiss Travel Notes Rigi, located on the edge of Lake Lucerne, is known as the Alpine Queen, but far from the Jungfrau, Matt Hung, Titlis is familiar to us. From the Port of Lucerne, take a boat to Vitznau station and get off the boat. Walk along the sign for 15 minutes to the mountainside and take the gear train Rigi Klum up the mountain. The wind on the top of the mountain is real, the windshield hat is the right head. It won't hurt. From the observation deck on the top of the mountain, the scenery is truly unique. There are 13 lakes in Switzerland, rolling mountains, verdant plains, and village towns under the mountains. It is said that when you have a good view, you can see Germany, the French Alps, but I really can only see mountains or mountains. When going down the mountain, it is recommended to choose another way to go, so that you can see different scenery. Take the train to Kaltbad station and transfer to the cable car to the town of Weggis. This Swiss lakeside town is also worth a stroll. If you have purchased a Swiss train pass, you can take a cruise, and the mountain train and cable car are free. If you travel by Swiss without a pass, you can buy a ticket when you take the boat. The impression is more than 100 Swiss francs. It is very expensive. .
