Mount Rigi: the panoramic highlight of your Swiss train journey<\/h3><p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1325\">The Rigi, also called the Queen of the Mountains, is one of the most beautiful places to visit during your train tour of Switzerland. From Vitznau you board the historic cogwheel railway, the oldest in Europe, which takes you to the top of the Rigi in about half an hour. The ride itself is already an experience, with increasingly impressive views of Lake Lucerne, surrounding valleys and Alpine peaks. Once at the top, numerous hiking trails await you over rolling alpine meadows and past spectacular viewpoints. On clear days you can see all the way to the Black Forest and Mont Blanc.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"626\" data-end=\"966\">You can choose a short circular hike or a longer hike to a lower station. If you're staying in Vitznau, the starting point is literally around the corner. You can walk straight to the cog railway station and immediately begin one of the most iconic train routes in the country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0ad7a5d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"70497\" data-id=\"0ad7a5d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e9ada02\" data-eae-slider=\"2693\" data-id=\"e9ada02\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7717792 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7717792\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route-1024x576.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-76106\" alt=\"mount rigi vitznau train journey switzerland route\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route-600x338.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mount-rigi-vitznau-treinreis-zwitserland-route.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">By cable car to the top of the Rigi: the view<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-7319e2e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"11421\" data-id=\"7319e2e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b038bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6b038bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>4. Ascona in Ticino: the most Italian town in Switzerland<\/h3><p data-start=\"159\" data-end=\"642\">As soon as you arrive in Ascona, you will notice it immediately: this is where the sunny south begins. The atmosphere is relaxed, the facades are colorful and the trees gently sway in the breeze. This charming little town on the Swiss part of Lake Maggiore feels almost Italian, which is exactly its charm. Stroll along the promenade overlooking the shimmering lake, settle down on a terrace for a gelato or a glass of local wine, and enjoy the Mediterranean that makes Ascona so beloved.<\/p><p data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"912\">From Vitznau you travel to Ascona in about 3.5 hours. First by bus to Brunnen, then by train to Locarno and then a short bus ride to your final destination. The route is doable and you'll also be treated to stunning views along the way.<\/p><p data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"912\">Those looking for a little more excitement can head to the nearby city Locarno. This city is known for its international film festival and atmospheric old town.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"912\">In terms of food, too, you're in the right place. In Ascona is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/seven.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Riva Ascona<\/a><\/strong> a trendy place on the waterfront where you can enjoy a cocktail and delicious lunch. For a typical Italian atmosphere, have a seat at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ristoranti-ff.ch\/en\/osteria-nostrana-ascona\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ristorante Osteria Nostrana<\/a><\/strong>, a classic on the promenade with excellent pizza and a lively terrace. In Locarno is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ristorantefiorentina.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ristorante Fiorentina<\/a><\/strong> highly recommended if you're in the mood for an atmospheric Italian dinner right in the middle of the old town.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section

Dagro: tranquility, nature and history in the Malvaglia Valley<\/h3><p data-start=\"154\" data-end=\"503\">Want to get off the beaten track? Then plan a day trip to Dagro, a hidden mountain village about two hours from Ascona. Just the route there, through the impressive Malvaglia Valley, is an experience in itself.<\/p><p data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"645\">From the village of Malvaglia take the cable car up to the mountain terrace where Dagro lies, at 1,400 meters above sea level. This ride alone is an adventure with magnificent views.<\/p><p data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"1007\">This valley has been inhabited since the 13th century and houses some of the oldest buildings in the canton of Ticino. In Dagro you will find charming wooden cottages built on dry stone walls, called cascine, which used to serve as peasant quarters and today are mostly used as vacation homes. The atmosphere there is authentic and almost timeless.<\/p><p data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1359\">You can enjoy hiking here and indulge in the trails through chestnut forests and along mountain meadows. For a lovely break along the way <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sassmalt.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1160\">Ristoro Sass Malt<\/strong> <\/a>highly recommended. A small restaurant where you can enjoy homemade dishes made to la nonna's recipe on the terrace. Pure Italian flavors, overlooking the valley.

Especially with the right preparation. Below we answer the most frequently asked questions and share useful tips for en route.

This allows unlimited travel on virtually all trains, boats and buses in Switzerland. Cable cars like the one to Mount Rigi are also partially or fully included, as is admission to some museums.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1325\">The Swiss Travel Pass is available for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 consecutive days, so you can choose what best suits your travel plans. You can also easily take your luggage on the train, although it's nice to travel nice and light. Reservations for the trains are usually not required, but are often smart for panorama trains and popular routes in high season. Use the SBB app to plan your trip.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1325\">You will still need an international train ticket for your trip from the Netherlands to Switzerland. The train departs from Amsterdam CS, Utrecht CS, and Arnhem CS. It is wise to book this ticket on time, as this can make a big difference in the cost.
