One lake, a city at its end and three villages around it, all linked by boat, rack railway and cable car. You can sleep in the city and take the mountain as a day trip, or sleep on the mountain and come down for the evening.

Verdict by traveller
Everything leaves from the city: the boats, the trains to Engelberg and Andermatt, and the two rack railways up the Rigi and Pilatus.
On the lake shore under the Rigi, with the boat to Lucerne and a cable car to a car-free village above.
The Andermatt, Sedrun and Disentis area is the largest here, and the village sits where three mountain passes meet.
The Titlis cable car reaches 3020 m and runs through the summer, with the Benedictine monastery down in the village.
