Board a nostalgic steamboat in Lucerne, sit back and enjoy the trip to Vitznau. You will pass historic hotels, vineyards, small villages and famous mountains. Looking back, you will see the city of Lucerne with its Chapel Bridge, KKL Lucerne and, in the background, Mount Pilatus. In the direction of travel you can already see Mount Rigi - your destination today. Once you arrive in Vitznau, you change to the first cogwheel railway in Europe. Since 1871, the Rigi Railway has taken guests up to Rigi Kulm at 1,797 metres above sea level.

Once you arrive in Rigi Kaltbad, get off the train and continue your journey on foot.

Enjoy the fresh mountain air and let your soul dangle.

Freshly fortified, you will start the return journey to Rigi Kaltbad, from where you take the cable car to Weggis. Once you arrive at the valley station, you will be picked up by a horse-drawn carriage. A quiet carriage ride takes the group to the farm of the Stalder family and later back. You will be initiated into the art of distilling schnapps by the master distiller and can taste the various distillates such as cherry, Träsch and plums. But also specialities like Vieille Prune, Äntebüsi and even the "Grüne Fee" (absinthe) are not missing. In the rustic "Stübli" you can enjoy Kafi-Schnaps with your aperitif and bread, cheese and smoked meat is served. Individual wishes (without carriage) and extended menus are possible.

A boat chartered exclusively for you by the Lake Lucerne Navigation Company will then sail from Weggis to Meggen, where you and your group will enjoy a princely dinner in St. Charles Hall. After an aperitif on the terrace with a magnificent view over the lake, you will take a seat in the festive hall where you will be spoilt with culinary delights.

The summit of Titlis is 3,020 metres above sea level - high enough to have snow even in summer. You will get a queasy feeling on the Titlis Cliff Walk when you walk over the suspension bridge at 3'041 metres above sea level and a 500-metre cliff.

Hungry from the adrenaline rush, you make yourself comfortable around the panorama restaurant. While you are enjoying typical Swiss food, a snow-covered mountain landscape invites you to dream.
