Directions & Parking facilities

Take exit A4 towards Küssnacht, Vitznau or exit A4 Goldau.

Paid parking spaces are available at the Rigi railway stations in Vitznau and Goldau A4.

However, we recommend public transport instead of a car: relax, enjoy, and do something good for the environment at the same time.

You can reach the Rigi Kulm station by cogwheel train from Vitznau or Goldau.
