Fodor's Expert Review Rigi Kulm Hotel
Kulmweg 7, Rigi Kulm, Schwyz, 6410, Switzerland
Some parquet floors remain, but this 19th-century lodging now has a modern look and feel and more modern conveniences than some city hotels. Southern-facing rooms have great views, although these disappear if it rains. A short walk from the summit of Mt. Rigi, the hotel is accessible by cable car from Weggis or by cogwheel from Vitznau or Arth-Goldau. Another option is to climb up from Weggis, allowing either three hours or, as Mark Twain required, three days, depending on your penchant for resting.
PROS
- a sunny perch above the fog that can dim Luzern
- unique site for sunrises and sunsets
- good restaurant on-site
CONS
- once you're here, you're here
- poor weather can ruin the view
- lots of day-trippers
