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 Mountain is a mountain in central Switzerland, located at the foot of the Alps. Its highest point is 1,797.5 meters above sea level. Latin Regina, known as the "Queen of the Mountains". Mount Rigi is separated from Lucerne and Zug by Lake Zug and Lake Lucerne respectively. Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and was once voted the most livable city in the world. Its economic development relies on the banking industry, but it is a city full of classical style. To experience Zurich, you can walk along the longest shopping avenue in Europe, Bahnhofstrasse, outside Zurich Central Station to Lake Zurich, or sit by the lake to rest, walk around the lake, or take a cruise to see Zurich from the water. Zurich, Switzerland is a country worth visiting 👍🏻

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

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。

Rigi Mountaintop Restaurant on a Budget Tour in Switzerland I heard that this restaurant has a history of more than 200 years since its opening. As long as you go to the top of the mountain, it is not difficult to be attracted by its outdoor dining environment. It is so beautiful! Location: At the top of Rigi, at the terminus of the cable car. Environment: There are indoor and outdoor seats. The weather was so good that day, of course it was the most enjoyable to sit outside and enjoy the scenery while eating lunch 😚! The outdoor dining area is a large terrace extending out, surrounded by mountains. There are green mountains and clear waters nearby, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. It is incredibly beautiful😍. The indoor dining area has two different styles, one is a more modern design, the other is an old-fashioned and cozy feeling, and there is another area that is classic and luxurious, but it is not open to the public. Service: The ordering method is self-service. You walk around with your tray, pick up the drinks, snacks, and meals you want, and then go to the end to pay. Lunch: 🥩Beef🥔Mashed Potato CHF 26 (about!) To be honest, the food quality is similar to that of a university canteen😅. The two pieces of luncheon meat made with 🥩beef tasted OK, but the 🥔mashed potato was too salty, as if they didn't have to worry about the salt. It's worth the price of the meal to spend about 200 Hong Kong dollars to eat in a nice environment😗!

#EuropeanTravel #Switzerland #Rigid 🇨🇭I escaped the summer heat and lived in Switzerland for two months with my grandmother. The city center of Switzerland was hot like Korea, but the highlands were cool, so it was nice to travel with my grandmother. In particular, when I went to Mt. Rigi, my grandmother and I wore matching twin looks. The view overlooking downtown Lucerne and Lake Lucerne was amazing. I've only been to Mt. Rigi twice in the winter, but Mt. Rigi in the summer has a different charm, green, green, and blue. 💙 I highly recommend Mt. Rigi because it's cost-effective if you have a Saver Day Pass or Swiss Travel Pass!

This is Mount Rigi near Lucerne, Switzerland. You can go up by cruise ship or train. You can enjoy a cool view from the top. You can see Lake Lucerne right in front of you..

It takes about 10 minutes to walk up from the top station to the top. You can see the scenery of Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug and the surrounding mountains. It is worth visiting.

Transportation: Take the Rigibahn from Vitznau Pier or Alt-Goldau Station. It is recommended to buy a Swiss National Railway Day Pass, which can take the boat and national railway train on Lake Lucerne for free.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Mt. Rigi, known as the "Queen of Mountains," is an elegant mountain with an altitude of 1,798m. It offers a spectacular view overlooking Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, and is easily accessible by mountain railway or ropeway. You can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from the summit, and on a clear day you can even see the mountains of Germany and France! I took the first mountain railway to the summit in the morning. The view, which seemed to float above the sea of ​​clouds, made me take a deep breath. Just looking at the view while drinking a hot drink at the cafe at the summit filled my heart ☁️ It's great for relaxing with your partner or facing nature alone. [Access] Take a ferry from Lucerne to Vitznau (about 1 hour), then take the mountain railway to the summit. There is also a route from the Goldau side, so you can also make a round trip. [Travel tips] ✔️Escape crowds and catch a sea of ​​clouds on the mountain railway early in the morning🌄 ✔️Discounts on mountain railways with the Swiss Pass🎫 ✔️The terrace seats at the mountaintop cafe are a great spot for views☕️ ✔️There are plenty of hiking trails, so even beginners can enjoy them Overseas travel #Couple travel #Solo travel #Absolutely free travel #Switzerland travel #Mt.

#summervacay Mount Rigi, somehow a lesser-known gem near Lucerne, was like a deep breath that I realized I never knew I needed. I rode a cogwheel train to the top (which was enough on its own!), but as I arrived on top I found myself resting on soft clouds floating under me, and mountain peaks towering above. The view was like, no joke, wow. I walked quietly along trails, threw on some layers to sit down with a warm drink, and frankly just enjoyed doing nothing at all. It wasn't about crossing items off a list, instead it was about feeling calm, feeling present, and feeling far away from all the noise of everything else. If you fancy a peaceful and magical Swiss escape with postcard views, Mount Rigi is that. #thingstodo #travel #switzerland

#May Travel Support Fund Rigi, which stands tall in central Switzerland, is a mountain nicknamed the ‘Queen of the Alps.’ When you look down from an altitude of about 1,800 meters, the lakes spread out under the open sky are spectacularly beautiful. The lake that leaves the deepest impression among them is Lake Lucerne. Since you can take the train to the top, it is not at all difficult to get to the top and see the beautiful lake view. #European Travel
