★ 4K 🇨🇭 Vitznau - Rigi Kulm rack railway cab ride [05.2023] Zahnradbahn Führerstandsmitfahrt

Today we’re going to have a look at the first* steep grade railway in Europe, the original Rigibahn for a second time (this time with sunny weather). The Rigi is a mountain located in central Switzerland within the cantons of Schwyz and Luzern. It’s a popular tourist destination. Almost completely surrounded by lakes, the journey to the top offers spectacular views.
Two of Switzerland’s three standard gauge rack railways serve the Rigi mountain. The one we’re looking at today starts in Vitznau, a scenic boat ride away from the city of Luzern (Lucerne).

* Another rack railway was completed the year before in Ostermundigen for a quarry, but they delayed their official opening to make the Rigibahn the first rack railway.
