Welcome Week: Trip to Rheinfall, Rigi and Lucerne 

Dear exchangies!

The Welcome Week will start with a visit to 3 must-see destinations not too far away from Zurich: Rheinfall (the biggest waterfall in Europe), the "Queen of the Swiss Mountains" aka Rigi and Luzern.

We will start our day first visiting the Rheinfall where we will stay for about 1.5h. Then we will head to the top of the Mount Rigi. On top, we will have a breathtaking panoramic view over many mountains, lakes, and cities such as Lucerne and Zug. Afterwards, we will go on a very easy 1 hour hike downhill to the middle of the mountain (sneakers or any sorts of sports shoes are fine) (taking the cogwheel train instead of hiking is also possible). We will make a break about 1h at Rigi, Kaltbad. After the break, we will get to Weggis by cable car, take a boat trip on the beautiful and mystical Lake Lucerne until we reach the city. There, we will have about 2h to see the city and afterwards head back to Zurich at around 8.30pm.

Included in the Price:

  • Day ticket for travel within Switzerland
  • Cogwheel train from Arth Goldau to Rigi, Kulm (40 min)
  • Cogwheel train from Rigi, Kulm to Rigi, Kaltbad (20 min)
  • Cable car from Rigi, Kaltbad to Weggis (10 min)
  • Boat ride on Lake Lucerne (40 min)

Note: Food is not included in the price and the trip will be on Sunday. So if you will use the supermarkets for food shopping, make sure to do it before the trip because we won't be close to the supermarkets until we arrive Luzern about 6pm. 

Note: Since this is a Welcome Week event, this trip is organized only for exchange students.
