'Rigi' is a
mountain in central
Switzerland and part of the
Alps. It's also known as the "Queen of the Mountains."
The mountain is easily accessible by public transportation. It offers many winter and summer excursions such as skiing or sledding. Hiking there is also a favorite. It can be reached from
Goldau and
Vitznau by the
Rigi-Bahnen, a
rack railway, and from
Weggis by
cable car.
The Rigi has been further made famous through paintings by
JMW Turner, including "The Blue Rigi, Lake of Lucerne, Sunrise".
