Hi,
I will be traveling to lucerne May 7th and want to do some hiking on Mt. Rigi. I was wondering if someone could break down the cost. I know there is a popular boat to Vitznau where you can then begin the hike. After that if you want hike up rather than take the cogwheel and cable cars, is there a fee?
Thank you!
