    Hello, I plan to go to Mt.Rigi via Majestic/Classic Round trip from Lucerne and want to know that if it possible to be done in half day (like be back at Lucerne around 1-2 pm is fine) or only in full day. I can leave early in the morning if it helps to get back sooner. Another question is which one between Majestic/Classic Round trip should I take, I plan to travel with swiss pass so price doesn’t matter for me and do I have to book the tickets before? Thank you very much.

    Hi!

    Lovely area you plan on visiting!

    It is technically possible to do the trip in half a day however it would leave you little time to enjoy the scenery specially if you want to have a look around, have lunch etc. so I wouldn’t recommend it but of course it’s up to you…

    For the difference between the Majestic and Classic Round trips, have a look at our section on Rigi (scroll down to see it):

    This is indeed covered by the Swiss Travel Pass so no need to book in advance.

    Hope this helps!

    Maria.

    Thank you very much Maria. Just another small question, where can I check the earliest time that I can start my majestic/classic round trip? To be specific it is 28th of april, thanks in advance.

    I recommend the traditional circular tour using both the Rigi railways (Vitznau – Rigi = red livery), Arth Goldau – Rigi = blue livery

    This can be done quite quickly (but with only 15 minutes at the top!) :

    Luzern 08.20 to Arth Goldau, then up to Rigi Kulm, then down to Vitznau then boat to Luzern arr 11.41
