Message from Tanya Deans

This cable car travels between the Weggis lakeside village and Rigi Kaltbad, a small village on Mt Rigi.

Valley station: Weggis (Luftseilbahn) - Rigistrasse 67, 6353 Weggis

Mountain station: Rigi Kaltbad (Luftseilbahn)

Tickets: Free with Swiss Travel Pass . Saver Day Pass, Tell Pass. and GA. Discount with Swiss Half Fare Card.

Open: year round except maintenance breaks in spring (mid March to early April) and late November. Check current timetables.

Timetable

The cable car runs every 30 mins in both directions, or more frequently on busy days.

Typically on the XX:10 and XX:40. The journey takes 10 mins. Check current schedule on SBB.ch or Rigi website.

How to get there

Mountain: It's a 2 min walk between the cable car station and the Rigi Kaltbad-First mountain train station.

Valley: It's a 10 min walk between the valley station and the Weggis boat dock. Or a 6 min bus ride, but it's hardly worth it since it doesn't drop you right at the boat dock anyway.

Boats leave from Weggis a few times a day, taking 38-45 mins to reach Lucerne
