Lake Lucerne Cruise
A boat trip on one of Switzerland's most scenic lakes, with mountain backdrops and lakeside villages — paddle-steamer cruises are the classic, more atmospheric option.

Mount Rigi
"Queen of the Mountains," reached by Europe's oldest mountain railway — a gentler, more family-friendly alternative to Pilatus with equally sweeping panoramas.
