Starting at the town of Vitznau, the "Rigi Bahnen" cog railroad ascends to nearly 6,000 feet. Much of the tracks are rather steep - I tried to capture this as best I could but maybe a video would have been more effective. Along the way, there were a number of stations where one could enter or exit the train. Most people rode it all the way to the top, then hiked down to Rigi Kaltbad where one can either take the train back down or take an aerial tram. There were also a decent number of people who exited the train at Rigi Kaltbad and hiked up about 1,200 feet to the summit.
