ance for 2 weeks early Nov
Mt Rigi
Blue, no red, no dark… Turner couldn't quite make up his mind about how he preferred
1797m Rigi ( www.rigi.ch ) , so in 1842 the genius painted the mountain in three different
lights to reflect its changing moods. On a clear day, there are impressive views to a jagged
spine of peaks including Mt Titlis and the Jungfrau giants. To the north and west, you
overlook Arth-Goldau and Zugersee, which curves around until it almost joins Küssnacht
and an arm of Lake Lucerne. The sunrises and sunsets viewed from the summit are the
stuff of bucket lists.
