🇨🇭Which Switzerland's Mountain Peak Should You Conquer? Rigi, Murren, or Matterhorn?

ABBEY: Each of these locations does give the wow factor. We cruise across Lake Lucerne to and onto a train to reach Mt. Rigi. There we have our first taste of sledging. Going down is another experience via a cable car. 

In Murren we got another bowl of fondue and we beat it. Haha. We dined alfresco and we ate the cheesy delight with the view of snow-covered mountains. We are also able to Murrenbachfall in here. 

But the main attraction for us is the sight of Matterhorn. I’m used to see it in encyclopedia and Toblerones but this time it is for real.There are shops and restaurant at the top so don’t worry about food. People are lining up for their turn to ski and it is good to see them sliding down on their colorful winter clothes. 

🇨🇭Which Switzerland's Mountain Peak Should You Conquer? Rigi, Murren, or Matterhorn?

WILL: Switzerland boasts an awe-inspiring 70% coverage of majestic mountains, offering a plethora of choices for adventurers seeking the ultimate peak experience. Standing at the foot of these giants, it's impossible not to feel compelled to ascend to their heights and witness their grandeur firsthand.

Mt. Rigi (1,798 m) — Complimentary with Swiss Travel Pass

The dilemma between Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus is a common one, but for us, the choice was clear: Mt. Rigi, fondly referred to as Switzerland's Queen of the Mountains, beckoned us with promises of unparalleled beauty and adventure.

Our journey to Mt. Rigi was as remarkable as the destination itself. We embarked on a scenic boat ride, marveling at the picturesque vistas along the way. Upon reaching our destination, Vitznau, we embarked on a historic train journey, traversing landscapes that seemed straight out of a postcard. The return journey to Luzerne via Weggis' Cable Car added another layer of excitement to our adventure.

And who could forget our exhilarating experience of sledding for the first time amidst the pristine yet steeply scary snow-capped peaks of Mt. Rigi?

Murren (1,650 m) — Included with Swiss Travel Pass

This was a discover-anything day for us. We just wanted to roam around without any plans. Haha! So, Abbey wanted to see the famous Staubbach Waterfall in Lauterbrunnen. On our way back to the train station, we found flocks of people walking towards the cable car. We asked if we needed to pay extra with our Swiss Travel Pass, and they told us that we did not. So, we hopped in!

As for what to do here? Well, I saw people hiking on the snow, but a lot of people stayed in the hotels located on top of the mountains! Woooohooo! Nice, isn't it? And as for us? What did we do there? We simply devoured another delectable cheese fondue against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain vistas.

Matterhorn (4,478 m) — CHF 47.50

The Matterhorn, Switzerland's iconic peak standing proudly as the fifth highest in the country, beckoned to us with its legendary allure. Its towering, triangular silhouette has captivated the hearts and lenses of countless adventurers and photographers alike, including Abbey, who fondly recalls its appearance on her childhood favorite, Toblerone chocolate.

Gazing in awe at the majestic Matterhorn, we couldn't help but marvel at the sheer beauty of nature's masterpiece. Oh, we had our lunch there too! 

And so, if pressed to choose just one peak to visit, the answer is unequivocal: Matterhorn. Its timeless appeal and unmatched splendor make it a must-see destination for any adventurer. But the question remains: where will your mountain journey take you?
