Mount Rigi Day Pass Including Mineral Baths and Spa Access - Easy to use the vouchers by yourself. Spa is small but nice. You can rent swimwear, towel and bathrobe.

Perfect combination - Perfect and massively recommended light and fun trip. Viewed the wonderful mountains around Luzern, experienced cogwheel views of Queen mount rigi and spent a few hours unwinding in a lux spa. Rigi was soooo helpful and helped my inquiry right away!
Book this deal, seriously.

Worth the Trip! - Don't let the cogwheel in the description confuse you, it looks like a normal train. The spa was a really fun experience! Really warm water with inside and outdoor options with great views of the alps. You can also take a break and go into the amazing steam room. Getting here from Lucerne is fairly easy. Just take the ferry from the massive port that you can't miss and if you can't you can ask locals. The cogwheel train ride is literally 100 steps once you get off the ferry so you can't miss that either.

Breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne - All went smoothly with the tickets and highly recommend visiting Mt Rigi by cable car. The SPA was a wonderful finish to a huge day of walking. Stunning views in every direction.

Must do!! - This was so amazing, we wouldn’t have even known about this without booking this and it was such a great day! Well worth the money and the spa was such a relaxing surprise! The views at the top of Rigi were spectacular.

Definitely recommend! Amazing facilities with lots offered. - This was an amazing package and experience! The spa is amazing and has so many different offerings. They don't allow phones or pictures inside the spa so you won't find much online, but there is a crystal bathroom, relaxing rooms, steam and sauna rooms, and indoor and outdoor pools that are amazing. Definitely worth the convenience and money saved since it includes your trip up and down the mountain as well. We went while it was snowing and it was still warm and extra magical.

Lovely self-guided day out - Great day out at Rigi & Weggis from Lucerne. The trip is completely self-guided which gives you lots of freedom over travel to and from Rigi and exploring the summit of Rigi also. We opted to take the boat from Lucerne to Weggis; and then the cable car & mountain train. The cable car operator was very friendly, especially as it was my partner’s first time on a cable car (- and he doesn’t like heights!). When we reached the summit, we walked straight to the top of the mountain - the panoramic views are incredible, even in low-visibility. We then opted to take two trail hikes down to the spa, as shown on the map to Rigi provided by the cable car operator. The spa was a lovely addition to an excellent day, the facilities were gorgeous and all areas of the pool and spa were very clean. Lots of other things to do on Rigi including restaurants, cafes, cheese-dairies and parks for children. Worth the money to pay for access to cable car, mountain train & spa as these can incur additional costs if booking separately.

Last minute cancel and fantastic customer service - It was raining nonstop for days so we would not have made the most of the ride to the Mt. Rigi or the spa. In addition, from where we were staying in Lucene, it would cost us $100 Francs each way to Weggis to get to Mt. Riggi. The communicated with the tour guide and they suggested I contact Viator for a refund. Once I did it was all accomplished within 15 minutes! And we cancelled the day of the tour!
My friend and I were amazed at the customer service and prompt response. I have booked many excursions with Viator and will continue to do so.
