Rigi, Mountain summit in Central Switzerland.
Mount Rigi rises to 1797 meters between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, offering views across 13 lakes and the entire Swiss Alps range.
The first cogwheel railway in Europe started operations on Mount Rigi in 1871, connecting Vitznau at Lake Lucerne with the mountain summit.
Local farmers maintain traditional Alpine dairy practices on Mount Rigi, producing mountain cheese using centuries-old methods throughout summer months.
Visitors can reach the summit through cogwheel trains from Vitznau or Arth-Goldau, or by taking the cable car from Weggis.
The mineral baths at Rigi Kaltbad, situated at 1433 meters elevation, continue a thermal spring tradition dating back over 600 years.
