The Rigi Railway, Europe's first cogwheel railway, has been operating on the Rigi from Vitznau since 1871. Enter the neatly presented carriage, which dates from the early years of the railway, and let yourself be chauffeured up the mountain just like in the good old days. The smell of the coal fire, the hissing of the steam, the smooth interplay of the mechanics and the lovingly restored locomotive create a unique atmosphere.
