The drive to Vitznau

The motorway takes you to Küssnacht, then along the shore via Weggis to Vitznau — open all year, and in the evening one of the most beautiful drives on the lake.

Good to know: Europe's first mountain railway

Since 1871 the cog railway has climbed Mount Rigi from Vitznau. If you like, take the boat to Lucerne — we pick you up there again.

Arriving in Vitznau

The village stretches as a narrow band between the Rigi and the lake. The grand hotels sit right on the shore with their own driveways — we drive to the entrance and hand your luggage over at reception. The Rigi railway's valley station is next to the boat pier, both in the village centre; the cog railway climbs all the way to Rigi Kulm, the summit at 1797 metres.

Along the lake to Gersau and Brunnen

Beyond Vitznau the lakeside road continues via Gersau to Brunnen — one of the quietest routes on Lake Lucerne. In summer the paddle steamers call at the village pier; in winter Vitznau is a peaceful retreat facing the Bürgenstock across the water.

An excursion with your chauffeur: drive and waiting, return included

There, wait, back: you pay the fixed price plus the waiting time, and the return is included. Hourly waiting rate: CHF 100 (S-Class), CHF 90 (V-Class), CHF 80 (E-Class).

Your hotel in Vitznau

We drive up to the Park Hotel Vitznau, the Vitznauerhof, the Hotel Rigi Vitznau or your hotel by the lake.

On the way

On the way, Küssnacht am Rigi, the promenade in Weggis or a detour to Lucerne are worth a stop.
