Alpine lookout, a great place for hiking, why is it called the "Queen of the Mountains"?

Friends who like to travel generally like to see mountains. After today’s trip, I will take you to the Queen of Mountains in Switzerland. Mount Rigi, known as the Queen of Mountains, is also known as the Alpine Lookout. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the magnificent snow scenery of the Swiss Alps, the pastoral scenery below the mountain, as many as 13 lakes, and even France and Germany in the distance. Mount Rigi itself is also one of the most popular hiking spots for locals. At the same time, it has attracted a large number of Chinese tourists rushing to check in.

Mountain Rigi is the forefront of the Alps and the most famous observation tower in central Switzerland. The views along the way and at the top are stunning. The view above the clouds is breathtaking. There are great hiking trails everywhere. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the lake on the back of the mountain. The fog is so thick that it looks like a fairyland. You can take a short hike from the top of the mountain to the cable car station halfway up the mountain. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. Every house has a garden, and the cats and dogs are friendly.

The altitude of Rigi Snow Mountain is not high, only about 1,800 meters, but it is known as the Queen of Snow Mountains among the many snow mountains in the Swiss Alps. Because the Rigi Snow Mountain is located between Luzern (also known as Lucerne), the largest inland lake in Switzerland (non-border, fourth in total area) and Mount Pilatus, at the foot of the mountain is the beautiful small town of Vitnau ), and the scenery of the Rigi Snow Mountain is among the best even in the charming Switzerland.

There are two routes from Lucerne to Mount Rigi. One is to take a boat to Weggis and take the cable car up the mountain. One is to take a boat to Vitznau and then take the cog train up the mountain. I chose the route of taking a small train up the mountain and then taking the cable car down to Weggis. In this way, you can try all modes of transportation~ Facts have proved that this decision is correct. The small gear train goes up the mountain, almost at a crawling angle of more than 45 degrees, and travels between the sea of ??clouds.

The most beautiful thing about Mount Rigi is the scenery along the mountaineering train. It is recommended to go up to take pictures and then come down to enjoy the scenery. If you are taking pictures, it will ruin the beautiful scenery. Although the top of Mount St. Regis offers a panoramic view of many small mountains, the scenery is not as stunning as expected. You can bring something to eat on the top of the mountain. Rich people can also choose to dine at the top restaurant!

The cable car goes down the mountain, plunges from the top of the mountain into the clouds with clear skies, and travels through the forest canopy with only a few meters of visibility, as if you have traveled to Silent Hill. It's hard to compare which experience is more fun. The terminus of the gear train is Mount Rigi. There are many stops along the way, and you can see that there are relatively few people skiing on this mountain, but there are particularly many people hiking in winter. There are hiking route signs along the roadside.

The station is already crowded with people getting on the train. Perhaps because the transportation to Mount Rigi is free, there are obviously many more tourists here than the Matterhorn and Jungfrau. Mount Rigi is not as high as the Matterhorn and Jungfraujoch, and the temperature is much warmer, but the wind is still as strong and the ultraviolet rays are still as strong.

Looking down the mountain, there is a sea of ??clouds! I think the most beautiful and attractive thing about Mount Rigi is its large sea of ??clouds. Those clouds and mists are unpredictable. The mountains are like whales in the sea, sometimes diving into the seabed and sometimes exposing their backs to the sea. The mountains that were visible just now were covered by clouds and mist when a gust of wind blew. The sea of ??clouds and white snow in the distance merge into one.

There is a tall steel launch pad on the top of Rigi Snow Mountain, and next to the launch pad is a huge rock with the Chinese characters "Emei Mountain" written on it. Yes, you read that right, it is indeed the name of Mount Emei in my hometown of Sichuan.

Emei Mountain, which is 8,103 kilometers apart, became a sister mountain to St. Regis Snow Mountain in 2009 and exchanged rocks. In 2014, a 2.6-ton gravel stone from Rigi Snow Mountain was moved to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, and this 8-ton basalt stone from Emei Mountain also flew across thousands of mountains and rivers to the Rigi Snow Mountain in the summer of 2015. Kulm Summit. Seeing the huge rocks in my hometown standing with me in this fairy tale world, I feel inexplicably warm.
