Isolated by the depression which supplies water to the lakes of Lucerne, Zoug and Lauerz, the 1,797m-high Rigi is depicted by rugged wooded slopes punctuated by reddish escarpments. Its highest peak, Rigi-Kulm, is famous for its alpine sunrises. From the terminus of the rack and pinion railway station, head to the summit, from where the view takes in a swathe of the Alps from Säntis to the Bernese Alps (Jungfrau) via the Glaris and Uri Alps and the Titlis massif.
