Description
On this private tour, you travel through the heart of Switzerland using public transport. First, you'll ride Europe's first cogwheel railway up to the Rigi. At the top, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of lakes, forested hills, and the Alps.
Next, the route takes you to the other side of the Rigi. There, you'll board a boat gliding over crystal-clear waters, accompanied by dramatic cliffs and mountain scenery.
You’ll then pass through the Gotthard spiral tunnels into hidden valleys. On another cogwheel railway, you’ll travel through the Alps and along the Rhine Gorge.
For dinner, there’s an optional chance to dine in an exclusive train restaurant on the way back.
