They say everything comes to those who wait and, luckily, we were in Vitznau long enough for the weather to change and the clouds were high… So off Jude and I went to catch the train to the top of the Rigi. At 1,798 metres (5,900 ft) it’s not very high, but it sits in the centre of 3 lakes – i.e. Lake Lucerne, the Zugersee and the Lauerzersee.
After taking in the fantastic views, we walked down a couple of stops before Jude caught the train back to Vitznau and I took off down the path for some much needed exercise.

Perfect spots to exercise and relax. Beautiful photography of this region, last time I was there was in 1975 – great memories of the most gorgeous countryside in the world.

Thank you Mary. I dare say that it hasn’t changed much since then. We certainly had a wonderful time.

Yes, it’s a great place to visit, though completely different to our, more rugged, landscape here in the Valais.

Beautiful. I must visit someday- also makes me think about a long overdue trip to the English Lakes.

Yes, it’s a fabulous place to visit. But with the exchange rate being as it is, the Lakes might be (just be little bit) cheaper.

We used to joke “What shall we do, 2 weeks in Spain or 1 week in the Lakes ? Oh, hang the expense, let’s go to the Lakes !” 🙂
