“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“It was really good experience with history and chocolate.”
“Funny quotes.”
“Everything was great, friendly staff including the captain, a good extensive brunch buffet, and a beautiful boat trip.”
“A wonderfully sunny day and relaxing hours at Rigi Kaltbad Wellness. It was worth being at the spa as early as 10:30 AM, since it got very crowded in the afternoon. We’ll gladly come back – of course by boat, train, and cable car.”
“Marcel was the best and I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.”
