Rigi Kulm can be easily reached on Europe’s first cogwheel railway. You can either start at Viznau or Goldau. There’s a one-day ticket for CHF 66 (half-fare 33 CHF) that allows you to use all Rigi railways and cable cars during the day. This comes in handy if you want to activate also HB/SZ-035 Dossen on the same day (as I did). From the railway station on the top, its only a few minutes walk to the summit.
