A Brief Look Back in Time

Vitznau's history is closely linked to its unique location between the lake and Mount Rigi. The arrival of the world’s first cogwheel railway in the 19th century turned this quiet village into a popular gateway for mountain excursions, welcoming visitors for over a century.
