Getting from Luzern to Rigi-Kaltbald
What is the best way to get to Rigi-Kaltbald from Luzern? No car.
We are trying to get on Cog rail and go to Mineral Hot Springs in Rigi-Kaltbald.
Alternatively we are looking for 'Pearls of Switzerland' that include cheese making, dairy and cog-wheel.
Does anyone know of a tour company that offers this particular tour?
Thanks!

What are your objectives?
Is this a day trip from Luzern or are you traveling with luggage to stay overnights in Rigi-Kaltbad?
Are you just going to the Rigi-Kaltbad or visiting the top of the Mt. Rigi also?
There are two ways to Rigi-Kaltbad.
1. Luzern-Vitznau by boat, then cog-wheel to Rigi-Kaltbad. The cog-wheel train station is practically next to the boat dock and is better if you are with luggage or have mobility issue.
2. Luzern-Weggis by boat, (same boat, one stop before Vitznau) then aerial cable car to Rigi-Kaltbad. The view is spectacular from the aerial cable car, BUT it is a trek up/down between the Weggis boat dock to the Weggis aerial cable car station.

there is a third way to go between Lucerne and Rigi-Kaltbad - all by train - Lucerne to Arth-Goldau and then train to Rigi stations. but boat is nicer. I went one way via Vitznau and cog rail and came back via Arth-Goldau - also a scenic trip. Could be useful if not heading back to Lucerne as Arth-Goldau is on mainline Zurich-Lugano-Lake Como-Milan.

Hello and thanks for your message. Our objective is to get to the Mineral Pools at Rigi Kaltbad and spend the day there. Is this possible for a one day excursion from Luzern? We will not be staying overnight and will have a day bag with us (and most likely a walker) as my mom is 82 and has some mobility challenges.It sounds like the suggestions you have given, it might be better for us to take Luzern-Vitznau by boat and then the cog wheel. Once we get off cog wheel we would take an UBER or cab to the mineral spa unless you suggest otherwise?
