Because sledding is so much fun, the Rigibahn train runs continuously to bring tobogganists back up to the top.
Time for Two on Lake Lucerne
After the children have let off steam in the playgrounds and climbing parks, parents can enjoy being together in the publicly accessible spas on the Rigi, in the spas of the hotels in Vitznau, or with dinner for two in a lakeview restaurant. The sunset over Lake Lucerne with the imposing Swiss Alps in the background is particularly picturesque.
Magical moments for two can also be found with stand-up-paddling. At sunset the cliffs over Vitznau glow with a warm red hue. Steer your board towards them and you’ll see the enormous Swiss flag unfurled proudly across the cliffs of the Rigi.
