Inleiding

Although our mountain railways were Europe’s first, we also operate the latest generation of trains. Dear Passenger, We’d like to take you on a journey through time. Board a heritage train in Arth-Goldau and then travel back down from Rigi Kulm to Vitznau in the valley below in the latest articulated railcar.

From Arth-Goldau, the heritage train takes you up the Rigi. These trains are maintained exclusively in our own workshops; some of them have now been preserved for almost 150 years. Once you arrive at Rigi Kulm, you change to the latest generation of trains, the articulated railcars. These can feed the recovered braking energy back into the grid when travelling downhill, making it available to the trains going uphill.
