Rigi Kulm

At the summit of Rigi lies the cog railway station of Rigi Kulm. In addition to the station, there is a hotel and a bit above it is the summit.

I wasn't sure how Rigi would be considering that the day before I was at snow covered Titlis at 10,000 feet and Rigi is only at 6,000 feet. Well, its jus as impressive! All the other mountains in the area, including Titilis and Pilatus, are visible. I could even make out the transmission tower atop Titlis with the naked eye. And like yesterday, there was a glory though it wasn't quite as well defined. Its at the tip of the shadow of Rigi!

The weather was similar to yesterday - clear at high altitude but cloudy down below. It was really neat seeing the valleys below covered with clouds. Rigi is actually surrounded on 3 sides by lakes so normally it would be quite a different view without the clouds.
