Family-run for 4 generations, Kräuterhotel Edelweiss is located at 1,550 metres above sea level on the car-free Rigi Mountain, next to Rigi Staffelhöhe Train Station. It offers panoramic views over the Swiss Alps and Lake Lucerne, free WiFi, 2 restaurants, and a hot pot. The Panorama Restaurant has a sun terrace with mountain views and offers traditional Swiss cuisine and regional specialities, all made from Swiss products. In the Regina Montium restaurant, which was awarded with 1 Michelin Star in 2017, guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine based on traditional recipes, exclusively made from Swiss products. The traditionally furnished rooms provide a balcony, a desk, and a bathroom with a hairdryer. In winter, snow shoes and sledges can be rented on site, and a ski slope is right outside the hotel. The Rigi Kaltbad Spa Centre can be reached in a 15-minute walk.

    This is a very cute hotel on Rigi specializing in local food and specialities from the area. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is nice, we ate there for lunch and stayed one night. There are a lot of nice little touches in the hotel/ rooms....
