“Great facilities- friendly staff . We got the cog wheel train from Vitznau to the Kaltbad and then hiked up to the Rigi Klum. We had lunch there and then hiked back to the KaltbadSpa. It was so relaxing after the hi out .”

“The landscape, the railway's route, and the old town of Domodossola are all amazing. However, in train operations, there’s often some improvisation. While it has its charm, there’s definitely room for improvement.”
“We experienced very attentive, friendly, and approachable staff on the cable car and in the restaurant. We are extremely grateful for that and would be proud of Switzerland if this were the standard. The two days in Mürren with Schilthorn were more than worth the money in every way.”
