Getting There
The only rail line servicing Vitznau is a local alpine train connecting it to such panoramic points as Rigi-Kulm and Rigi-Kaltbad. Call tel. 0900/300-300 for rail schedules.
Buses depart for Vitznau from the Küssnacht railway station, which is reached from Lucerne by train every hour, requiring about 45 minutes, including a stopover in Weggis. Some of the buses continue to Gersau, where there's a connection to Brunne. For bus schedules and information, call tel. 041/367-67-67.
Ferries depart for Vitznau from the quays of Lucerne every hour in summer and about every 2 hours in winter. The trip takes about 1 hour. Call tel. 041/367-67-67 for more information.
If you're driving, the resort is reached by first passing through Weggis, then continuing along Route 2b south to Vitznau, a very short drive along the lake.
