Fondue party for groups of 18 to 30 people in the heated, historic “Wagen 6” cogwheel railcar, traveling from Goldau to Rigi Kulm.
The fondue ride in Car 6 begins at the Rigi Bahnen station in Goldau. According to the Rigi Bahnen, this electric cogwheel railcar, built in 1911, is the oldest of its kind in the world and travels in the evening toward Rigi Kulm, at an elevation of nearly 1,800 meters above sea level. An aperitif is served during the ascent, followed by a cheese fondue with bread, potatoes, and pickled vegetables in the heated car. A hostess accompanies the group. The evening concludes with coffee and the descent.
The tour is available daily from November through March and lasts three to four hours. It’s ideal as an after-work event, Christmas dinner, or club outing during the winter months, for groups of 18 to 30 people. Beverages are not included. The Rigi is located outside the canton of Zug; anyone wishing to combine the fondue trip with a stay in Zug can get help with planning from Zug Tourism.
