Mount Rigi-The Queen of Swiss Mountains

When I looking up our photos in my computer, these photos caught me up. These photos we were in Mount Rigi January 17, 2007. Mount Rigi called the Queen of the Swiss Mountain. It is so nice to have experienced to go this known Mountain. This Mount Rigi is the one of the greatest attractions of Switzerland, apart from its well-planned cities and cultural capitals, is the picturesque Alps Mountains. In the late 19th century, the Alps were made popular by Joanna Spyri, whose book "Heidi", about a little girl living in the Swiss Alps was an instant bestseller. Yes, I love to watch this Heide in Television early in the morning.

Someday, I want to go back on there with our little baby boy. It is nice to walk there, exploring around on this Mountain, it is really picturesque Alps Mountains.

If you have a yen to see the sunrise from a mountaintop, there's no better place to head than Mount Rigi (5,894 feet). Travellers have been trekking up here since the 19th century to do just that. A handy hotel a few feet from the summit means you can make your ascent the day before. It'll take about four hours to hike up (you can halve that if you take a mountain bike). The going isn't too tough, though it does get steeper at the end. Your reward will be a magnificent panorama of Alpine peaks crowding around the convoluted contours of Lake Lucerne.
