- Get inRigi rises up from the "Lucerne Riviera" on the eastern coast of Lake Lucerne (Vierwaldstattersee), so the most scenic way to get in from or via Lucerne is by ferry, which run from Lucerne Bahnhofquai (right next to the train station) roughly hourly.
- Get inThere are two primary gateways: Ferry to Vitznau (1 hour), then boarding the Rigi Railway up to Rigi Kaltbad (15 min) or Rigi Kulm.
- Get inWhile the ferry ride from Lucerne to Vitznau is about 20 min longer than to Weggis, the Vitznau ferry and rail stations are immediately next to each other and schedules are synchronized, making this the easier option.
- Get inFerry to Weggis (40 min), then walking about 15 min uphill to the Weggis-Rigi Kaltbad cable car (every 30 min).
- Get inRigi Railways tickets are valid for both train and cable car, which makes going up by train and down by cable car a popular combo.
