Day 1: Meeting at Basel or Zurich Airport

We meet at Basel or Zurich airport – Wizzair is a more affordable option compared to Swiss, ideally before noon. If time allows, we make a short stop in Lucerne, often called "the jewel of Switzerland." This charming city, with its spectacular landscapes and fairytale architecture, will captivate you. Two hours are enough to explore the main attractions and feel its unique atmosphere. By 4:00 PM, we board a boat on Lake Vierwaldstätter, heading towards Vitznau. This one-hour journey offers breathtaking views, the perfect way to end the day on a relaxing and memorable note. From here, we take the cable car up to a cozy vacation home on Mount Rigi, where we will spend the night in a storybook setting.
Day 2: After Breakfast

After breakfast, we descend on the cogwheel train towards Goldau, from where we board a train to Brunnen. In this spectacular area, we have the chance to explore unique attractions, including the famous funicular railway to Stoos – the steepest in the world – offering an unforgettable experience and stunning views of the Swiss Alps. Depending on the weather and preferences, we may explore the charm of the alpine villages Morschach and Weggis, or relax with a boat ride on Lake Urner, heading to Flüelen, where the natural landscapes create a fairytale atmosphere. In the evening, we return on the cogwheel train to our vacation home on Mount Rigi, ending the day in a peaceful and authentic Swiss atmosphere.
Day 3: Embark on an Unforgettable Adventure!

We descend from the spectacular Mount Rigi with the cogwheel train, leaving behind the alpine panoramas that have enchanted us during our stay. From the foot of the mountain, we take a bus to Klausen Pass, a scenic route winding through charming valleys, traditional villages, and stunning serpentine roads, offering breathtaking views. On the way down to Altdorf, we make a special stop at the Swiss Alpine Dairy Museum in Unterschächen, where we immerse ourselves in the pastoral traditions of the Alps and learn authentic stories about mountain life. In the evening, we return to our cozy cabin on Mount Rigi, carrying with us the joy of a day full of discoveries and unforgettable landscapes.
Day 4: Farewell to Rigi

We bid farewell to Rigi and head towards one last spectacular experience: the Cabrio cable car, unique in the world for its open platform, offering an unforgettable panoramic view of the Alps and Swiss lakes. From here, we take the train to Zurich, where we plan to ascend Uetliberg, the mountain that overlooks the city, offering an impressive panorama of the metropolis, the lake, and the distant mountains. We part ways in Zurich after a journey full of adventures and memorable landscapes, carrying beautiful memories in our hearts, with the hope that we will meet again soon to discover together more enchanting corners of Switzerland.

What Our Clients Say

Gec is one of the few true mountaineers I met in 2022. Not very talkative, but definitely a "Swiss clock"! 😊 The whole trip was organized to perfection, with diverse objectives and the best ideas for cost optimization. When our plans were slightly disrupted by the airline, Gec was extremely flexible and helped us not miss the first two days of the vacation. The trip also included a mountain/glacier ascent – my first climb over 4,000 meters! 🤪 Meticulously, Gec equipped and secured us properly to ensure our full safety, and the result was sensational! An AMAZING vacation!! Thank you, Gec!
