cog railway
Home page
This 2 line, 16 km rack railway connects the Arth-Goldau SBB station, the other Vitznau on Lake Lucerne with the Rigi mountain.
The cog railway from Vitznau to Rigi-Kulm, finished in 1871, was the very first cog railway of Europe. Soon the success of this cog railway attracted additional investments and a second railway from Arth-Goldau was built in 1875.
