Weggis

Weggis lies at the southwestern foot of the Rigi by Lake Lucerne and has around 4,600 residents. The mild, almost Mediterranean climate allows for the growth of palm trees, chestnuts, and grapevines. The town is often referred to as the "Riviera of Central Switzerland." From here, you have an idyllic view of the lake and mountains. Weggis is a popular vacation spot for relaxation, enjoyment, and numerous leisure activities amidst stunning nature. You can easily reach the mountain village of Rigi Kaltbad in just about 10 minutes by cable car from Weggis.

“After the boat trip, we arrived in Kehrsiten. A short walk later, the funicular took my sister and me up to the Bürgenstock. In the sunshine, we enjoyed the wonderful views and the beautiful gardens.”

“The pedal boat breakfast was suuuuper! Everything was lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. Spending time on the lake was just pure enjoyment. We’d love to come again or try one of the other Momentized experiences. Thanks so much from the heart for this wonderful experience.”
