If you prefer to discover another cogwheel train and route, you can also hop on the train to Goldau. Another accessing point to Mt.

Your ticket provides unlimited rides on the three transportation services for the whole day and you are able to choose your route according to your wishes.

It was a great experience however it was not disclosed that the boat to Rigi was not included. Also we were not allowed to take the cog wheel train to the top and we were asked to get off in Rigibad at the spa level because they had a group tour. We had to wait an hour to get the next train and this threw our whole schedule off. On this account we never were able to enjoy lunch and had to rush back to Basel where we started our tour and had to be back for 7pm. We went the whole day without food till our return to Basel because of the delay. So for that I would not recommend the tour unless you are prepared to be on the schedule of the cog wheel train. Of which that also was not disclosed.
It was easy, fun and worth it! Take the gondola and the train to the top of Mt Rigi to enjoy the amazing views then stop and relax at the mineral baths and spa. Views from the water of the mountains! Great day trip!
Easy to book and accepts Swiss Half Fare card. Train ride to top and hike down from the top to the spa was beautiful. Spa was great as well.
Hello shawnsH5167GA Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that booking was easy for you and that the Swiss Half Fare Card was accepted without any issues.

We’re also very happy that you loved the spa itself. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Yvonne Guest-Service
One of the most amazing places I’ve ever been but if you could upload the map that’s available there people could plan much better in advance. We were very unsure where we were going until we got there and even still could have missed out on a lot of the mountain. However the place itself is 5/5 breathtaking and good you can do partial train partial hike so suitable for everyone
Hello Sharon G Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you found the place absolutely breathtaking and enjoyed the flexibility of combining the train with hiking — it truly makes the experience accessible for everyone. We really appreciate your suggestion about providing the map online in advance. Clear orientation can make a big difference, and your comment highlights an important point. We’ll look into making this information easier to access so future visitors can plan their route with more confidence and make the most of their time on the mountain. We hope to welcome you back again — there’s always something new to discover up there. Kind regards Yvonne Guest-Service
The spa was super clean, very relaxing, can certainly spend 5 hours of Pure peace! My husband had a massage that he really appreciated! We would recommend! Our only recommendation would be to give a little more info on how to get at the location. The meeting point was not a meeting point is was just to get to the spa…very simple when you know that…this part was a bit confusing for us…
Boat ride from Lucerne easiest way to get there. Once there spa has all the features you like. Beautiful views and staff were very friendly.

My wife and I were in Lake Lucerne in early April this year. I purchased the experience without understanding how transportation to the mountain really works. Luckily our hotel concierge mapped out three different options for us. The package included the cogwheel train up to the top of the mountain, but be aware the price of transportation to the cogwheel train is not included. We decided to take the beautiful boat ride. Depending on your fitness level, I highly recommend getting off before the top and hiking as there are some magnificent views along the way with spots to take pictures/videos. Once we reached the top and enjoy the views for a bit, we walked back down, partway to where the Kaltbad spa is located. What a wonderful, relaxing and unique atmosphere. I highly recommend this excursion.
Wrap up warm! The ferry leaves right outside Lucerne station. You can take any ferry that goes to Visnau, the views from the lake are spectacular. We were lucky with the weather, a bright blue sky day. The lake was like glass a very smooth journey.. The train was waiting at the station right next to the ferry drop off. A big bundle with all the fellow travellers but there was room for everybody. As the train ascends the mountain the views become more and more spectacular. The mountain was snow covered. Once at the top you can see another lake over the other sidewe didn’t spend long on the top. We walked about 35 mins down the mountain we were very impressed how clear the path was no snow, sludge or ice. It is very steep in places but not too bad you could just take the train back down to the spa. It was a very peaceful walk. The spa was a welcome break to warm up and all the pools were perfect temperatures not too busy. It’s phone free but you get a wrist band that allows you to buy drinks and charge later. Bring your own toiletries. You can hire towels and even swim costumes! Unfortunately the sauna is naked only there are private changing rooms, and open door showers. The spa is very well organised and clean. The train was waiting when we got outside and after another ferry ride back the excursion is done. It’s a good day out we were very happy and felt we had done and seen loads. Good value and I would highly recommend. Tips, wear layers and a hat, sturdy shoes (I wore trainers which were fine but my feet got cold), maybe even walking sticks, to economise bring packed lunch and drinks for the ferry, bring your own towels and toiletries.
Hello 882marianf Thank you so much for your detailed and heartfelt feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful day and were able to enjoy both the lake journey and the mountain ascent. The combination of clear skies, snowy peaks, and peaceful surroundings truly makes this experience special. We also appreciate your impressions of the walk and the spa. It’s great to know that you felt comfortable, well taken care of, and able to relax in the warm pools. Your practical tips — from clothing and footwear to bringing your own toiletries and snacks — will be extremely helpful for future visitors. We’re very happy that you found the excursion worthwhile and would recommend it to others. Creating memorable and enjoyable experiences for our guests is exactly what we aim for. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for spending the day with us. Kind regards Yvonne, Customer Service
We did a day trip to Rigi-Kulm and then Rigi Kaltbad for a spa and wellness afternoon. At the station we could do a combi ticket for the train and the spa. Great ! We had a good time
Hello Stonic77 We are delighted to hear that you had a wonderful day on Mount Rigi and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at the Mineralbad & Spa Rigi Kaltbad. We would be happy to welcome you back on the Queen of the Mountains again soon. Kind regards, Yvonne, Customer Service
