Fondue Trip
Enjoy a fondue get-together in the world’s oldest electric cogwheel railcar (built in 1911) and ride in “Car 6” by moonlight toward Rigi Kulm. An aperitif is served during the ascent through an enchanting snowy landscape. In the heated car, a cheerful fondue evening then begins, true to the motto: “Delight à la 1911.” A radiant starry sky and twinkling lights in the valley provide the perfect backdrop for a sensory and culinary high. A cup of coffee and the subsequent descent round out this evening celebration perfectly.Christmas Market on Alpenquai
From November 19 to December 23, 2026, the Alpenquai will be transformed into an atmospheric Christmas market featuring more than 60 elaborately decorated Christmas huts, cozy spots, and small seating nooks, as well as Swiss classics and hand-selected artisanal crafts. The Fondue Chalet will be warm and cozy, and in the Children’s Village, little Christmas huts, a carousel, creative hands-on activities, and a visit from St. Nicholas await.

Wrapped in cozy, warm blankets and with a toasty “Chriesisteisäckli” on your lap, you’ll enjoy homemade fondues. Choose your favorite from an incredible 100 variations.
